Currently two separate threads are involved in fetching the data and computing the ordering. To display a ready-to-view canvas immediately these background tasks should best be merged. This should be scheduled for a later release of v2.

Since the bug report and related answers are quite old: What should be done about this bug? The sorting animation is executed, because the real sorting is not saved in the view or session. That means, that whenever a view is loaded or the subset is changed, the scaffolds have to be sorted again. The only possibility to avoid this, is to explicitly save the ordering of the scaffold tree after a sort process. This would require many changes in the Scaffold Tree View and make the session files a lot larger.

in my opinion this bug is not very serious. it may waste some computation power for animation, but that is all. i think there are better ways to improve the performance.
furthermore, i do not think, that the animation hurts usability.
my vote: close this bug as wontfix
