Some of these wish list items affect only us… developers.
But in MANY cases, my users are presented with a Grid and they have to click a column heading TWICE to get where they want.
If looking at Transactions, if you need to see the most recents ones at the top they click the DateCreated column and the oldest shows up at the top. Not very useful. They click AGAIN to see recent at the top.
This is so damn annoying and a waste of resources… multiples times a day X each user.
And its been like this for years since Kendo.
Possible solutions:
- Key modifier when clicking (not preferred) to sort DESC first.
- Icon to choose sort (not preferred - limited screen space)
-
- Global Setting inside aware to set “First GRID sort is Ascending or Descending”
- Per-Grid setting ……. ditto …..
- Setting per datatype for preference: Dates: Descending, TEXT: Ascending, Number: Descending, etc
-
- Javascript code to set this option. (Less preferred)
And lets not forget about the big deficiency of not allowing a user to sort on a secondary field in a grid by holding down a key modifier.
NOTE: Sure, a Client Name (Text) column would usually want to be sorted A-Z, so the first click works here.
