Hi Belen,
This commit disables the sorting for the values and files columns in the
configuration value page.
The commit is here: dreyna/configvar_sorts_6004
Here is the justification, as I noted in bugzilla:
vvvvvvvv
The reason for the apparent "out-of-place" values is that they have leading
spaces, which put them into an unexpected separate section of the sort,
especially since the leading spaces are for all intents and purposes invisible
to the casual eye.
This, plus the fact that the sorting method is controlled by the database
("Django will order results however your database backend normally orders
them") and in our case it is in literal ASCII order, means that while the sort
is working as advertised, it will look odd and broken to the non-ASCII-aware
user.
Since the value sort (a) will always look odd, (b) the search function does
work, and (c) while interesting I cannot see much immediate value in the sorted
values, I think we should disable it for 1.6 and look at implementing support
for custom sorts in 1.7.
^^^^^^^^
