sort1: Example for cell truncation and initial order
Observed:
1) The Cell column is truncated, even for fairly small documents. (See
attachment sort1.)
2) The original sort for the Cell column isn't by row or column. (See
attachment sort1.) And it doesn't appear consistent between searches of the
same document (at least on Linux).
3) Running the same sort multiple times produced different initial display
orders. (Observed on Linux, not Windows, but less testing was done on Windows.)
4) Clicking to sort the Cell column produces a sort which appears to be based
on a character sort of the cell names, which isn't useful. (See attachment
sort2.) A2 should come before A10.
5) Sorts aren't stable. Sorting by Content sometimes produces a different
non-useful sort for Cell (even when the content of all cells is identical).
Sorting by Cell produces strange orders for sheets. (Version 5.1.4.2 on Windows
7 appears to have stable sorts in some cases. Version 5.1.4.2 on Ubuntu doesn't
have stable sorts.)
See attachment sort3 for an example of non-stable sorts on Windows 7. I sorted
by Sheet then by Cell.
6) One search with results on Sheet1, Sheet2, and Sheet3 the initial order of
the results was:
- Some on Sheet1
- Some on Sheet3
- All from Sheet2
- The rest from Sheet3
- The rest from Sheet1
A later search for the same content in the same document produced a different
order. (I only saw this on Linux.)
6) Sorting by sheet displays the sheets alphabetically, not by order in
document.
Expected:
1) When search results are displayed, adjust the Cell column width to prevent
truncation.
2) The initial sort order should be by Sheet (order in document) primary, Cell
(by row or by column, choose one) secondary.
3) If you want to take the focus in the document into account, use the focus to
determine which entry in the search results is selected when the results are
displayed.
4) Clicking to sort the Sheet column should cycle between ascending (by name of
sheet), descending (by name of sheet), ascending (by order of sheets in
document), descending (by order of sheets).
5) When switching between sorting sheets alphabetically and by order in
document the shape/appearance of the search arrow should change. (Some
applications use an outline around the sort arrow to indicate mode changes like
this.)
6) Clicking sort for Cell should cycle between ascending by row, descending by
row, ascending by column, descending by column.
7) When switching between sort by row and by column the shape/appearance of the
search arrow should change.
8) All sort operations should be stable sorts.
