Guys, The favorites view, will change in every xo: * Because the user select/deselect activities as favorite. * Because the user add/remove activities.
The best we can do is provide a coherent order. Alphabetical using the localized numbers and the same order than in the list view, is the best in my opinion. I can't see the value of have a screenshot with the icons in the same order than a documentation. Specially when we can't achieve have a updated documentation since Sugar 0.82 ... :/ Gonzalo On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 10:50 PM, Martin Langhoff <martin.langh...@gmail.com>wrote: > On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 3:15 PM, Gary Martin <garycmar...@googlemail.com> > wrote: > > Martin, could you clarify this example a little more, > > did you have some specific documentation task in mind? > > I want to clarify that I see this patch as a big improvement, even > with localized sorting. +100. > > We often prepare some screenshots for documentation (or the Sugar > documentation sprint does).
