Allow sorting by Rank in Table views

Ideas & Features
1

This would allow Table Views to present their rows in the same order as List views of the same DB.

Also for a Table View sorted by Rank, it becomes reasonable to allow re-ordering the rows by dragging, as in List views.

The order in table view is the same order as for list views if no other sorting is manually applied.

Yep, this is on the to-do list :slight_smile:

I am not seeing that (at least in the entity collection views):

But I hope all of this will be obviated soon by the new Table view :wink:

So the sorting is by rank, but confusing as it may seem, an item can be ranked higher than it’s parent entity.

So, in your case, the ranking order is

GRAND TOTAL
WALLS
EXTERIOR
INTERIOR

as shown in the table view.
But, because WALLS is a child of EXTERIOR, it is shown nested under it in the list view.

If you turned off the self-relation in the list view (or created a board view) then I would expect them to be sorted as in the table view.
