Do not sort items in trees alphabetically
-----------------------------------------
Key: MGNLUI-450
URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MGNLUI-450
Project: Magnolia UI
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public
Components: tree/list
Affects Versions: 5.0 Alpha1
Reporter: Andreas Weder
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 5.0 Alpha2 s011
We're currently sorting nodes in the tree view alphabetically. That's also how
it has been specified. However, I've been approached by Jan who showed me that
this is actually NOT how it should work. In Magnolia 4.x, *a customer/user may
rearrange items e.g. in the page tree and this feature is actually very
important*. It is used to e.g. rearrange items in navigation menus and to
structure the page tree in any way a customer wants.
So please make sure that trees are not automatically sorted in any way by
default and that their elements can be rearranged to specify any manual order,
if that makes sense. The latter should probably be a configuration option.
Note that sorting in trees actually makes sense. There's a separated issue
(MGNLUI-106 - also linked to this issue), which describes how I believe this
should work. The two issues actually do not contradict each other: this issue
makes sure we fix the bug that items are sorted at all and is critical;
MGNLUI-106 shows how sorting could be implemented in addition to that.
