When you create trackers with lots of entries (like cataloging newspaper articles) you will soon find that Tiki's sorting options are far (!) too limited. There is just one sorting option. A second is implied, but undocumented (either it's creation date or it is ID, could not find out).
It would be a significant improvement (and VERY easy to create in SQL) if a second and third sort option could be integrated just like the first one: Select field, select order.
These should be hierarchical, so all elements should first be sorted by option 1, and within all results sorting should be by option 2.
So for the newspaper archive example: First sort by category/department/column (alphabetically ascending), and within that by page number (numerically ascending), and on page number by title (alphabetically ascending). Just like Excel does.
These must be three separate options with both field and order selection, do not make it a multiselect, because you might want to have differing sort orders for separate fields...
To help developers solve the bug, we kindly request that you demonstrate your bug on a show2.tiki.org instance. To start, simply select a version and click on "Create show2.tiki.org instance". Once the instance is ready (in a minute or two), as indicated in the status window below, you can then access that instance, login (the initial admin username/password is "admin") and configure the Tiki to demonstrate your bug. Priority will be given to bugs that have been demonstrated on show2.tiki.org.
Unable to connect to show.tikiwiki.org. Please let us know of the problem so that we can do something about it. Thanks.
