Sharan Foga updated OFBIZ-2507:
-------------------------------
Sprint: Bug Crush Event - 21/2/2015
> Sort options in form fields by their visible description (also if localized)
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OFBIZ-2507
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2507
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: Trunk
> Reporter: Karim Rahimpur
> Attachments: ModelFormField.java.patch
>
>
> Currently, when options are shown in drop-down fields we can use
> entity-order-by to sort the options by e.g. description.
> *But the order in which options appear is only valid for non-localized
> descriptions.*
> If we have localized descriptions we want to make sure that these also appear
> in order, otherwise we make it difficult for the user to find the desired
> option especially in drop-down fields with many options.
> Btw i consider this _major_ because for users who do not use the default
> language:
> - the presentation is non-standard and a usability obstacle
> - it's simply a real pain to look for an option in 'strangely-ordered'
> drop-downs
> *Proposed Solution*
> My proposal is to have a default ordering based on the description value of
> the _OptionValue_ key-description-pairs in ModelFormField.java.
> The advantage of doing this is that you get what you'd normally expect, by
> default, in any drop-down field without even having to tell the system to
> order by description. An implementation should of course respect
> _entity-order-by_ if present.
