--- Comment #13 from ady <[email protected]> --- For the weekly meeting, I'd like to emphasize: (In reply to ady from comment #7) > there is one point that should be considered if > implementing this marker: if the list is modified in any way after the Sort > action (e.g. modifying a value, or adding a new value/record/row), whether > the marker would remain as if the list was still effectively sorted. A third > alternative would be to retain the marker, but somewhat "grayed". The possibilities then would be: A._ No Sort activated by the user. No marker. Would the same status be relevant when opening the file even if some Simple Sort was used in prior sessions with the same file? Or, instead, the Sort marker status would prevail / remain / be saved in the file? B._ One AutoFilter Header is used for Simple Sorting. A marker (Ascending or Descending, depending on the Simple Sort action) would be shown on the respective AutoFilter drop-down icon. It is important to note that the Sort marker should be the consequence of an action, and not a permanent constant check of the content of the AutoFiltered list (which, in the latter case, would become a performance issue similar to volatile functions). C._ If possible (with one-time minimal performance penalties, or none at all), any (first) modification of data related to the AutoFilter list (e.g. changing a value, adding in-between rows, adding new rows at the end, modifying the AutoFilter in any way...) should "gray-out" a "Sort marker" if any such marker was already displayed (or otherwise change the normal display of the marker in some clearly identifiable way). A second alternative is for the marker to not be displayed anymore as soon as a modification of the AutoFiltered list is performed, leaving no trace of a prior Simple Sort action. A third alternative would be to leave the Sort marker that was previously applied as if the Sort was still in place (which could easily confuse users, and bring objections about the feature). D._ The other point would be, what happens when the Sorting action is not a simple unique Ascending or Descending sorting action according to one_and_only_one AutoFilter Header (e.g. multiple sorting conditions, applicable not from the AutoFilter options itself but from the Data > Sort dialog). Should a Sort marker be displayed on the AutoFilter drop-down icon (if such exists) for the AutoFilter Header that has the first priority of the Sorting rules? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
