Description Joseph Marques 2009-02-11 19:43:00 UTC

basically, i NEVER want the order of properties to change.  regardless of whether i set/unset the individual properties, regardless of the values i give elements, they should always appear in the same order between ever drill-down view.

what happened to me was i looked at one drill-down and saw 3 members with the same name (a very valid use case in the cluster world).  they all had the same value, but i changed one to have a different value.  the one i changed was at the top of the drill-down.  when i opened the drill-down for that same property set later, they properties had reordered themselves and the single property i changed was now on the bottom.  doesn't matter which algorithm we use, just as long as it's perfectly consistent.

Comment 1 Ian Springer 2009-02-12 04:06:53 UTC

Yeah, that makes sense, since I do a secondary sort on the values. I think I agree with you though that the default ordering changing on subsequent drill-downs could cause more confusion than the secondary sort is worth. Also, we'll eventually add the ability to sort by either column, as you and I have discussed.

Fixed - r3016.

Comment 3 Jeff Weiss 2009-03-12 17:51:51 UTC

Member order appears to be sorted by name and is the same every time.  rev3351
