Summary

0000758: Sorting by multi-valued columns

Description

Examples of multi-valued columns would be the Sources column in the Downloads view, the Requests and Transferred Data column in the Shared Files view, etc.

They usually keep track of a current and a total count. Sorting should treat this value as a tie-breaker, akin to the multi-column sorting already implemented.

Presumably, this should yield to sorting by a different column, like this:

1a. Click on Column1 (single value : C1a)
2a. Click on Column2 (single value : C2a)

Now C2a is used for the primary sort, and C1a to break any ties.

1b. Click on Column1 (single value : C1a)
2b. Click on Column2 (two values : C2a, C2b)

Now C2a should be used for the primary sort, any ties should be resolved by C1a, and after that any remaining ties should be resolved by C2b.

That is Column1=Priority / Column2=Requests would produce the following:

File3 (Normal) (1/15)
File1 (High) (1/10)
File2 (High) (1/21)
File6 (High) (1/22)
File4 (Normal) (2/22)
File5 (High) (2/3)

Changing Column2=Requests to descending should either ignore the total count (keep it ascending) or, simpler, sort both descending, like this:

File4 (Normal) (2/22)
File5 (High) (2/3)
File3 (Normal) (1/15)
File6 (High) (1/22)
File2 (High) (1/21)
File1 (High) (1/10)

And similiarily for two multi-valued columns.

Notes
(0001728) lao (reporter) 2006-01-06 16:27	Alternatively, it could of course also sort first by C2a, then by C2b and then by C1a. Then we'd get: File1 (High) (1/10) File3 (Normal) (1/15) File2 (High) (1/21) File6 (High) (1/22) File5 (High) (2/3) File4 (Normal) (2/22) Possibly that's slightly more useful, though I'm not sure. It's really just a cosmetic issue.
