maybe I'm a bit late in this thread, but I hadn't a definite opinion,
now that I begun translating the new keys related to it, I konw:
- I like the submenu idea
- I don't think the menu entries reflect their behaviour.
- I would suggest:
Contact sorting and grouping ->
Group by status (with "radio buttons", instaed of "check boxes")
Gruop by group (I know, this isn't beautiful)
Group in Hybrid Mode
----
Sort Ascending (with "radio buttons", instaed of "check boxes")
Sort Discending
----
Sort each group by status
Or
Contact sorting and grouping ->
Group by status (with "radio buttons", instaed of "check boxes")
Gruop by group (I know, this isn't beautiful)
----
Group offline contacts together (active only if "Group by group")
----
Sort Ascending (with "radio buttons", instaed of "check boxes")
Sort Discending
----
Sort each group by status
Also, most keys are the same as the old ones, witch could result in
wrong translations for users with old versions, without the submenu, I
think the keys should be completely splitted
I hope to have expressed myself clearly
