Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gucharmap
Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Package version: 1:2.30.0-0ubuntu1
What I expected to happen: Unicode blocks are sortable in Unicode order, like
in previous versions.
What happened instead: Unicode blocks are only sortable alphabetically.
Up until 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu1, all the versions of gucharmap I've used have
displayed the blocks in Unicode order, but when I upgraded to
1:2.30.0-0ubuntu1 it now only sorts them alphabetically. This seems to
be the opposite of bug #479330.
I found the old behaviour very useful because related blocks are
generally grouped together (e.g. hiragana and katakana are next to each
other, the Indian scripts are together, ...). After all, if I'm viewing
by blocks, I'm probably quite interested in the actual Unicode
structure, because I can just use view by script if I don't care about
that.
Perhaps it could be split into two separate options, so that there's "view by
script", "view by Unicode block (alphabetical)" (new behaviour) and "view by
Unicode block (Unicode order)" (old behaviour).
To make it clearer that the Unicode order one is ordered by the position in
Unicode, it could maybe even include the first codepoint in the name (something
like "U+0000 Basic Latin" followed by "U+0080 Latin-1 Supplement" followed by
"U+0100 Latin Extended-A", etc).
