Sort web planner tracks alphabetically or by creation time

Andrew Heard shared this problem 15 months ago
Solved

There was a similar issue with web points 15 months ago @ https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/25709-web-points-not-sorted-alphabetically

Now I find, maybe it was always the case, that tracks are not consistently sorted in any logical or apparent order. That makes it really difficult sometimes to find a track when there are 100's in a folder. In my case tracks sorted by creation date or track name will be in the same visual order in LM4 app (because the track name starts with a timestamp eg. YYYYMMDD-HHmmSS) however in the web planner the tracks are not always in alpha or creation order. Example below - creation timestamp and file name are both 20220625 (2022-06-25) but track is between two other tracks of 20220623 (2022-06-23) and 20220622 (2022-06-22).

Hi Andrew, currently tracks are sorted by updated_at time in descending order. I know, it can be tricky because you only see created_at time in UI (and probably also in the label). I have already promised that sorting order should be visible in UI soon. I have this task on the top of my list ... unfortunately I am still working on some code refactoring that is not visible. Thanks for your patience :)

Thanks Ondřej.

Why is this topic marked "not a problem"? When I have a 100 tracks in a folder, it's a problem for me trying to find the one I want.

The behavior is currently provided for. Therefore it is not a problem.

Not a problem for you maybe. Where is the web planner behavior provided? Tracks are sorted by updated_at time. My suggestion was also for alpha and/or creation time. See unhelpful sorting in screen cap, which makes finding an old track sometimes impossible...

i understand you. I also wanted it differently. But one problem is definiet. When an existing behavior no longer works. Or a function not planned falls away. But is it a behavior that is intended by the developer so. Therefore it is not a problem. For a new behavior or a new function there is the area suggestion, there the idea already exists.

Just saw that it is also still in beta. I do not use it. It lacks too many features that are available in the app. That's why I can't work with it. I work only in the app, there I have all the functions and super flexibility. I use a big screen and work with mouse and keyboard. A kind of Dex station like Samsung. But there should soon be directly in WIN 11.

OK - this "problem" should have been a "suggestion", my mistake, but I can't change it. I'd be happy if an admin changes the type. Ondřej has "...promised that sorting order should be visible in UI soon" which, to me, acknowledges my problem, and is a work in progress.

Hi, there is already "idea" for it with a lot of votes on it (https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/24352-sort-routes-in-web-planer-library). I have marked it as "planned". This ticket is kind of duplicity thus closing it as "Known".

Sorting points and tracks is finally possible by many properties. Enjoy :)
