fender <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #6 from fender <[email protected]> --- Hello Heiko Tietze. thanks for trying to implement this and advocating for it. I think I have a way to make all camps happy. The ones that want to be grammatically consistent, even though I see nothing wrong here, save work for the ones that "have to" code around the 'Column A' issue and so on. Why don't u guys reinvent the column sorting altogether. Why don't you make it sortable by simple text. Instead of doing it the old GUI way, just give the users a text field with CSV-type of separation. Take this short video as example. (mute for audio. I always forget to remove it) Once I sort, I have to go through the whole process again, unless I make a macro at which point I might as well just have a text field for sorting. ffffffff https://vimeo.com/643321746 Now, some people might have the spatial foresight knowing how they will want to sort their columns to best fit their reading in relation to what they want to extract information-wise, but I'm certain the majority doesn't know until they start sorting. That way folks like me, keyboard folks, don't need to use the GUI at all. I would still prefer for it to be letter first, for the adhoc quick sorting, but that's meeting half-way. It won't be as clean as only having to use the left hand because I will have to lift my hand off the mouse to input the comma, but it'll be manageable. Less work to implement bc no hacks needed and way easier to sort for almost everyone. And hacking around it will be the biggest easter egg ever since it's completely unintuitive. not even the laziest keyboard users will think of using the letter if the letter isn't the first thing the line has. Unless it happens accidentally or they read it in a guide. One of the reasons the firefox folks didn't want to implement it actually https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1701324 giving users an option to save their sort in GUI with a tickbox 'remember sort' would be great too. It seems not even google has thought of that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
