Re: Re-ordering the index / custom sorting

 

Hello :)

Happy to help. Zim is so useful, it changed my life. My hairis grew back.

My email web interface use a custom ordering for folders and I like it.
However, sometimes I mess with the order and it's easier to reset and
start over. So I guess that custom with a reset function would be
sufficient for me. On the other hand, one can think of situations in
which it would be nice to spot a specific page quickly by using
alphabetical sorting. So the switch would be useful.

Maybe one could think about selecting a range of pages we want to sort
(or reset the ordering like I suggest in 1/).

At the top of other pages I would say. I personaly tend to look from
top to bottom when I sort things.

I can't think about an usage of this. What do you have in mind ?
