--- Comment #23 from zlight <[email protected]> 2011-11-28 20:45:53 UTC --- lexein, I think you should initiate discussion here: *https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l. There are over a thousand Mediawiki bugs open according this page: *https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/weekly-bug-summary.cgi?tops=10&days=7 I think the most we can expect from posting to the wikitech list is to get a few more people to look at this bug 31755 thread. I do not understand why the location of the sorting icon above the text as opposed to the right side of the text matters to you other than that it is different. So I think you should explain your reasoning to the wikitech list. Derk-Jan Hartman, I think you may have misunderstood what I was proposing. You wrote in comment 18: "And again, it is an unintended consequence of the implementation that it works. People should not rely on it to exist like that for perpetuity, it might break at any time." I am not asking for a separate cell for the sorting icon. I am asking that the sorting button-icon be moved above the text but remain in the same cell. If the sorting icon is in the same cell (whether it is above or to the right of the text) then it will not break. I could give more examples of why putting it above the text prevents many problems. Mainly, people use various size fonts. I use a larger font normally in Firefox (minimum font size setting). Wikis on various sites (Wikia and elsewhere) use various content widths. Tables oftentimes do not fit well in the allocated content width. Editors oftentimes do not account for larger fonts, smaller screens, percentage width settings, and so on. Expansion of column width can occur when the column head is clicked for some of the table sorting methods found here: https://www.google.com/search?q=table+sorting -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
