Hi 8.5 Beta 1 feed reader shows the same sorting with “Show feeds grouped” as in version 8.0.1.The grouped feeds are not sorted by the feed name in alphabetical order.
The feeds are sorted only by the content of the field sub_key.
The effect is, that if a feed is added later, it will be displayed on top and the user does not have any chance to sort or rearrange the display position.
The only possibility is, to hack the Feed Content Design and e.g. change the sub_keys and so on.
Are there any plans to implement and alphabetical sort?
Subject: You can click on the feeds columns to change the sort order.
Subject: Click on view columns is not a solution because category sort want change
I am aware that sorting can be done by clicking the view column. This will work as in every Domino database.
The problem is, that clicking to e.g. the Title column would only change the sorting of the documents inside of a feed.
The sorting of the feeds itself (categories) cant be changed.
E.g. add several fees in alphabetical order (name e.g. Alpha, Echo, Gamma) and select “Show Feeds Grouped”.
If You now add a new feed (name e.g. Delta) it will be displayed at the end independent of its name.
The reason for this is, that the field sub_key is used for building up the categories.
Sub_key contains a text e.g. like this “1214290855958”. As far as I know this will represent a date time.
The only chance to have feed delta correctly displayed in “Show Feeds Grouped”, would be to change the Field Sub_key.
An alternative, would be to have instead of the number an alpha value (e.g. name of the feed) in sub_key.
I have not tried this yet, therefore I don’t know if it will work.
