Interesting that Olivier said in his first reply to this thread that "-
line ordering propagates throughout the workflow by default"
Yup, as mentioned, that was the plan. And it does propagate from SO to
Invoices, which is the part that was covered by the
sale_layout/invoice_layout modules, IIRC.
For trunk/v8 we're considering the options to support titles, groups
and subtotals in SOs/POs/Invoices, in a way that's cleaner and more
robust than the original *_layout hacks. But as Pedro says, that's
quite a different story!
One option would be to add a generic "section" field on all those
lines objects. A section would represent a generic group of lines,
with a title and some extra flags (sequence number, subtotal needed ,
etc.). Then by implementing a true "group by" mechanism within
one2many lists we could offer a drag'n'drop support for organizing the
lists within sections, à la WYSIWYG.
[1] That's harder than it seems - it requires client-side
logic/grouping because some of the lines in a o2m may be dirty or new,
so the server would be unable to perform the sorting.
