Comment (by idangazit):
Just sat down to discuss this with Julien. In general, I'm unhappy with
the multiple sort UI, and would prefer the fully-baked solution I've
proposed. However, I don't see it happening in time for 1.4, and I'd like
to make multiple sorting suck less for that release.
Most of my feedback here is negative, just want to be clear that I like
the general idea, just unsatisfied with the implementation we have now and
the pain it could cause users. If it weren't painful, I'd remove multiple
sort now and wait until we had a decent implementation before adding it.
Regarding Julien's patch:
* The additional cues and tooltips are good. The copy could be made
friendlier, right now it's a mouthful.
* Purely stylistically, the hover state of column headers isn't bad, but
could be a little more subtle (gradient / darker grey -> flat highlight
yellow is a big change).
* I like the hover-on-sort-number-to-remove functionality.
With this change, the only functionality still needed from the cog popover
is the global "reset sorting" link. We can ditch the entire cog popover if
we put that link elsewhere. My suggestion was to stick an additional div
between the `.actions` and `.results`, containing the reset link. If
multisort isn't active, the entire div can be hidden.
Overall this is lipstick on a pig, but it's better than what we have, and
we can get it into 1.4.
