The attribute does exist. However currently there is no UI to sort
and resort the sidebar collections in different ways. Something on
the wishlist for post-preview is the ability to explicitly order the
collections in the sidebar.

Would you mind elaborating on the specific use case motivating your
request?



Sure. Years ago I wrote a PIM, and one of the most popular features (and the
feature that I hear most about from former users) is the ability to look at
your collection, including addresses, calendar items, note items, todos etc,
in the order that they were created/edited, with the most recent first. This
allows a user to see what they have worked on more recently. For example "I
know I added this guy in the last few weeks" or "I know I added this note
within the last few days". Being able to see your workflow in the order you
create it is exceedingly valuable. In fact we had a tag feature that would
allow one to see, for example, all the things that relate to the "waterfront
project" tag in the order of creation/modification. I suspect if you
implement this view you will find that it is one of the most popular view in
your system.

Hank



Thx, Mimi
