#240 Share panel sorting issues
This report is a combination of
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=629676&group_id=39429&atid=425191
and new information. There are two related problems:
1) When a user sorts his shares, the sort fails when
certain keys are selected. It appears that any key
whose data field is an integer -- # of files, # of peak
uploads, # of current uploads, # of completes -- will
sort incorrectly.
At one point, around v. 1.7.3, it was clear that the
sort was occurring on another key (perhaps the
filename? I don't remember) and David Hollister fixed
the problem, so that keys w/ date fields now sort
correctly. This problem is either new, or a
continuation of a bad sort function on the share panel.
2) The default sort order is the FIFO order that shares
appear in sharing.cfg. It is extremely valuable to be
able to view ones shares in that order, in order to
manage them effectively. Currently, there is no way to
restore a sorted share list to the FIFO sharing.cfg
order other than by restarting the client. That is
awkward. In addition, it may be undesirable:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=629676&group_id=39429&atid=425191
suggests that furthur should remember the sort order
from session to session. If so, then it's especially
important that there be a way to restore the default
FIFO order. A "restore defaults" option would be nice.
