This made me check if you can rearrange columns via drag and drop. You can't. At least not in Nautilus. What I proposed is not drang and drop, but just clicking on a column header to make it jump to the left, as I figured this should be the most efficient way. The sorting direction icon should be an idependent target area, to allow switching direction without reordering columns, then. I think changing the order of columns would be the best way to communicate the sequence of multiple sorting. All other ways I can think of require more complex graphics. There are also interaction issues like made apparent in the discussion on "Sorting By Multiple columns should be supported" http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112060 -- Thorsten Wilms Thorwil's Creature Illustrations: http://www.printfection.com/thorwil _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
