Re: [Scaffoldhunter-devel] Implemented [Feature Request #41 : Table View Sort By Selection]

[Anjenson <hot...@gm...>]

Hi Shamshad,

I have been thinking about how to implement this feature as well, so I 
had an idea of creating some kind of function that will calculate new 
index for selected items. This index will be returned when asking for 
the row of molecule and used when asking for the value in the row. 
Because as I understand it may take resorting all the dataset when 
selecting item after the table had been loaded.

I suppose it can be done by manipulating with mappings field in Sortie 
class (however, I am very much not sure I understand the the purpose of 
this field correctly) or creating additional one.

Regards,
Andrew "Anjenson" Zhilka
