click on the table header to sort by that column (name, version, provider, 
etc.)
Comment 2 Gary Gregory CLA 2005-01-19 13:18:31 EST
Hello: 
Are we talking about the same dialog? In the attached screen shot, "S" comes
before "E" and the widget looks like a tree, not a table. 
Thanks,
Gary

Install dialog
Comment 4 Dorian Birsan CLA 2005-01-19 13:26:39 EST
yes, we are talking about the same dialog, but about different pages :-)
I was talking about the next page, that lists the features, as your 
description was very vague (and this is the question that other asked).

In this particular case, the sites are picked up as they're collected from the 
features, or added by users. Being able to sort those entries is nice to have.

patch

this fixes the ordering.

It is not essential but is nice to have, and the only risk is that order might
not be perfect (which already it is not).

Dejan/Dorian can you look at this
Comment 6 Dejan Glozic CLA 2005-06-14 13:16:26 EDT
+1 for RC3
Comment 7 Dorian Birsan CLA 2005-06-14 13:35:04 EDT
+1

What do you mean by the ordering may not be perfect? 
Comment 8 Branko Tripkovic CLA 2005-06-14 16:13:41 EDT
this is alphabetical sort by label so for instance if you have sites named a9
and a11, a11 will be listed before a9. This is unfortunate but it happens in
other places too like for instance in windows explorer.

Patch released.
Comment 10 Konrad Kolosowski CLA 2005-06-14 16:21:06 EDT
Marking fixed.
Comment 11 Dejan Glozic CLA 2005-06-17 09:46:16 EDT
Only partially. Categories are sorted, but not features within categories. See 
the screenshot.

D'oh!

Wrong file - SitePage has this fixed.

I was looking at the Review page.

I will open a separate defect for sorting results in the Review page.
