Modify sort algorithm in requests' table view (this would allow sorting by multiple columns)
People have asked for sorting the requests' table view by multiple columns (such as Feature Id:26101), but really no new functionality is required to accomplish that. Instead, the sort algorithm can be modified such that when a user sorts using one field, the sort order is preserved. This, by the way, is the standard functionality in Excel.
Example:
Index | Field |
1 | Low |
2 | High |
3 | Low |
4 | High |
5 | Low |
Sort the "Field" field.
↓
Index | Field |
| 2 | High |
4 | High |
1 | Low |
3 | Low |
5 | Low |
Notice how the Index order was maintained (e.g. for "High", 4 is still after 2).
Thanks!
