So you mean that someone's usage of it would go like this:
- Add an ordered folder "O" and change its sort attr to "title"
- Add a bunch of subobjects to "O".
- Apply sorting.
- Move stuff up and down.
Is that about right?
Yes.
OK, thank you for confirming. I've never had a need to do this, but I respect the fact that you have.
Anyway, all of this is just advisory, but at very least, I'd like to see the "apply current sorting" button go away in the UI because it's not entirely clear what it does to someone who doesn't understand the code. If you can't investigate the sorting parameters TTW, you probably shouldn't be able to activate them TTW.
I'm not sure I did get your last point: The sorting parameters are visualized by the sorting the items currently have in the TTW view (and by the bold column heading). I thought this is a very intuitiv way to investigate sorting parameters.
I see now that the sort order of the items in the ZMI can be applied. It was a little *too* obvious for me to understand. ;-) I thought the sort attr needed to be set manually from Python. - C
