Sort Order
- is it confusing if different folders are sorted in different ways?
- people are used to seeing different arrangements all the time
- names aren't really helpful for finding things anyway
- Do we have a design decision? Jim not sure we're all on the same page
- Mike is going to come up with some mock-ups.
- Netflix text fields can be puzzling - if you try to make a number of changes before updating, or scrolling back and forth to double-check your number placements, uncertainties about what happens when things get shifted.
- Blackboard-like dropdowns lead to a lot of scrolling
- 2 proposed sort order UIs from end of meeting (will need mockups)
- Reuse and improve existing sorting interface
- Use the sorting arrows from Sites -> Pages
- Take out the per-action round-trip and handle with JavaScript
- Once sorting done, post changes via Finish/Update/Save button
- Keep sorting in a similar context to Resources display
- Use ideas from http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/confluence/download/attachments/19437/sort2_76.gif
- Similar display to resources
- Use radio-buttons to "activate" a row for moving
- Activated row gets highlighted (as well as semantic property for screen readers?)
- Controls appears to change postion - either textual "Move up/Move down", arrows, or both?
- Once sorting done, post changes via Finish/Update/Save button
- Reuse and improve existing sorting interface
