I just wrote the case-insensitive sort feature and tested it against the
latest SVN snapshot. I have included a "Sort (&no case)" checkbox
adjacent to the "&Sort" checkbox in the insert-reference dialog. Also,
my logic ensures that while both can be switched off, the on-states are
mutually exclusive.
If LyX users/developers think this would be a convenient feature, I can
submit a patch. In that case, could someone point me to instructions on
how to achieve this?
Also, in src/frontends/qt4/ui/RefUi.ui, I see a "Labels" dropdown
listbox but I don't see it show up while LyX is running. What is its
purpose?
Thanks,
Manoj

Hi lyx users,
When cross-referencing I find the 'sort' feature useful but it
currently sorts case-sensitively which places all upper case letters
before all lower case letters. This means labels with the same letters
that differ only in case must be looked for in two different places. I
was wondering if a second sort option could be included that would allow
case-insensitive sorting.
Also, I was wondering if some support could be built in for
category-based sorting. For example, a tab could list all eq: prefixed
references whereas another could list all fig: prefixed references.
These category tables could be grown incrementally each time a user
defines a new label.
Thanks,
Manoj
