Hi David, I think this might just be a little bit confusing for my users, because the A, B, and D are really flat with each other. It is more intuitive for them if we have:
First column Second column A (47) checked B (10) B (28) D (7) C (17) D (18) But if this layout is publicly available, I can give it a go and see what feedback I can get from my users. By the way, this actually brought up another functionality desired by me: using a taxonomy tree in a facet. I am thinking about having a facet that have + A (47) + B (28) + C (17) + D (18) and then the following, after you expand the + besides A (with A1, A2, and A3 as children of A): + A (47) + A1 (20) + A2 (15) + A3 (12) + B (28) + C (17) + D (18) I didn't find support of this in the maillist, and not sure whether this is widely expected by other users. Thanks, Jun > Then when you select A, it becomes something like this > > A (47) checked > B (10) > D (7) > B (28) > C (17) > D (18) > > I wonder if this is intuitive enough.
