#2 Sorting of Icons in left window

[Anonymous]

Hi,

May I fist say how impressed I am with your
browser/editor.
I have been looking for several months for good editor
and eventually found yours which filled my wishlist
(certifacates, configuable interface and even different
icons for objectclases).

Would it be possible to have the option to sort the
left hand (explorer) window by objectclass, so that if
you have a mixture of different classes they are then
grouped together. eg grouipofnames, organizational
units and persons (people?) would be grouped
appropriatly. If this is difficult or impossible would
it be possible to sort on naming attribute instead? eg

cn=aaa
cn=mmm
cn=zzzz
o=mmm
ou=aaaa
ou=zzz

rather than

cn=aaa
ou=aaa
cn=mmm
o=mmm
ou=mmm
cn=zzz
ou=zzz
(hope the above wasn't mangled after submission!)

Cheers,

This is an excellent idea, and shouldn't be too tricky to
implement. I'll see what I can do post version 3 - it
should be a simple mod to the sort algorithm...

have added config option
'sort.by.naming.attribute=true/false' to allow this behaviour.

It's 'false' by default (because some people prefer alphabetical
order for everything (!) ) but is easily reset by editing
the config
file...
