Re: [XMLPipeDB-developer] export taxon list not sorted

[John D. N. D. <do...@lm...>]

OK, I've released GenMAPP Builder 2.0b80 to SourceForge.  The species list is now sorted by taxon ID, so it should be easier to scroll to the desired species on that basis.  In addition, the listing shows the species name first now, providing another alternative to finding a species---if you click on the species list, you can then start typing the name of the species and the list should take you to the matching one.

Ideally, I would prefer to make this list a table now, with columns for taxon ID and species name that you can click in order to change the sort order.  A typeahead filter can also make searching even faster.  That would take a little more time though.  However, if we decide this is worthwhile, I can go ahead and do it.  I figured I'd do just this initially just so you can have at least one way to home in on a species other than scrolling around.

The problem is that the list is not sorted in any way, not by taxon ID, not alphabetically by the name of the species.  I'm not going to be able to find one of our species for which we have a profile easily, all I can do is click through the list of maybe thousands of species.
