Re: [Gmod-ajax] Control Ordering of Categories in Left-hand Panel?

[Vaneet L. <van...@uc...>]

Hey guys,

Just want to reiterate that having a custom sort function both for sorting categories and the tracks in the categories would be very useful and beneficial for me too.  I hope it’s on the list of features to add for future JBrowse releases.

Thanks,

Vaneet

There is no way to provide a custom sort function currently but you can specify "trackSelector.sortHierarchical=false" and then the sorting will be basically in whichever order the tracks are loaded as. If that does not satisfy the issue, as in maybe you do need a custom sorter besides "no sorting", feel free to make a github issue

In jbrowse.conf that might look like

[trackSelector]
sortHierarchical=false


Or in trackList.json

"trackSelector": {
    "sortHierarchical": false
}

Hello,

In a jbrowse session, you provide a list of tracks, and these tracks can have a category.  The left-hand panel shows available tracks, with tracks grouped by category.  It seems to sort categories alphabetically.  is it possible to manually provide a sort order for categories in one of the JSON contig files?  I didnt see anything like this in the examples: http://gmod.org/wiki/JBrowse_Configuration_Guide.

Thanks for any help,
Ben
