Well unfortunately UX seems not to have the highest priority in this 
project.
Probably we should start a Google Doc to collect ideas - like:

 * autohide left menu (or v6.1 style pull down) - I never understood
   why this was omitted.
 * freeze column headers in list views
 * freeze form header to width of visible screen (window) - problems
     o next set of records is always on top (was available at bottm in v5)
       scroll to top needed to reach navigation widget
     o change view type - example: group modules by author in kanban view
       scroll to top AND right to reach navigation widget
 * alphabetic sort of lists with many (+5 items)
     o translated menu items (except work flow orientated items - use
       of sequences to control this) (especially settings)
     o many lists/tree views (products) - "natural order"
         + try sort products by name using French/German language
     o grouped list - Example accounts group by account type in
       French/German
 * sort / filter of function fields
   we have provided a patch for v5 which was never accepted
