Mulit-Tag ordering
Runecreed opened this issue · 2 comments
Problem
When using a multi-tag column, the order of appearance of the tag is not following the order you specify -- during the selection phase the order persists but when finalizing they move around
Solution
Keep the order the multi-tags were selected in
Additional details
Im wondering if this was intentional as i can see a use case where having the multi-tags alphabetically or in some other consistent order makes sense, for my use case I'm using them as a sequence to follow, so the order of display is important
Other than that this plugin does exactly what I want but this is a key feature for me ;(
I would classify this issue as follows.
Problem:
- When adding tags to a column of type Multi-tag, there is no option to choose sorting. The values within a single field in the column are sorted in a random order.
Solution:
- Add an Options menu to columns of type Multi-tag. In the menu, you can choose one of two sorting options.
- Ascending
- Descending
- For the Ascending and Descending options, sorting is done by the content of the tag.
- For the Ascending and Descending options, the current model, saved in a
.loom
file, is sufficient. Sorting will require looking atmodel.columns.tags[N].content
and sorting by the value found there.
@Runecreed please update DataLoom to version 8.16.0, in this version added the ability to customize sorting for multi-tags
