[jira] [Commented] (OFBIZ-6503) Implement easier sorting for form widget fields

["Christian Carlow (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6503?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14586378#comment-14586378 ] 

Christian Carlow commented on OFBIZ-6503:
-----------------------------------------

Ultimately it would be awesome if the sort order of fields could be controlled by users.

OFBIZ-6427 for sort/group functionality adds sort sequence numeric dropdown fields to find form fields to give users the power of multi-field record sorting.  Adding a similar numeric dropdown for something like field-sort-seq dropdown next to find fields could give users power to control the actual field sequence but ultimately such control should probably be independent of find form fields.

This would be handled by a separate issue if ever pursued.

> <sort-order> is currently the only way to sort fields but requires all fields to be specified even if only 1 field is out of order.  Extending <sort-field> to support an attribute such as "sequence" could allow for only the field that is out of order to be specified.
> A "sort-seq" attribute could also be extended to <field> but that may require a bit more effort since it would have to be integrated with the current sort logic that uses <sort-order> specs.
