#2493 Launcher UI wish: grouping and sorting of aircraft list

[Daniel Meissner]

When working with a lot of aircraft in local development repositories it is sometimes difficult to keep them apart from the hangar variants in the launcher. Would it be possible to add a "group by location/source" button to the installed aircraft list? This view would then group the installed aircraft by hangar/catalog and local folder, perhaps with a divider in the list and the location as a label.

Other aircraft list options could include sorting by name, update date, last used and so on.

Are there any opinions on this?

Hi Daniel, yes it's possible to do this. Are you planning to make some experiments yourself in this area? In which case look at the 'section' suport of QtQuick's ListView, it's designed for this purpose.

We would also need to extend the AircraftModel used in the launcher, to define sections based on the hangar/Aircraft directory.

Sorry, I fear that's a little out of my league... The thought just came to me and I wanted to pile it up the list.
