| Summary | 0017914: UI: Style Manager styles' sorting is inconsistent | ||||
| Description | When working with the Style Manager, a predictable sorting helps navigating the styles. The more complex the project is, the more important it gets. However, currently styles' sorting seems to work in an inconsistent, 'hard to grasp' way. I'm sharing my experience with style sorting in Style Manager below. **Observed rational behaviours:** - The ordering of `<CharacterStyle>` and `<ParagraphStyle>` tags in the `.sla` file doesn't seem to impact styles' ordering. - The following rules seem to impact styles' ordering to some degree: - Alphabetical ordering works in most cases. - Uppercase characters come before lowercase characters. - Numbers come before letters in most cases. **Observed inconsistent behaviours:** - The 'A, B, C, D' characters are sorted after all other letters. Alphabetical ordering works fro the remainder of the letters. For example, _H1_ comes before _Body_, whereas _Example_ comes before _H1_ (as expected). - Numbers come before letters, but only if they aren't the starting characters of style names. For example, _Fs-4_ comes before _1-Fs-4_, but _F1s-4_ comes before _Fs-4_. See the attached short screen capture for reference. As demoed, it's difficult to manage styles with such an unpredictable sorting. Resolving this would make style management a lot cleaner and easier. Thank you for looking into this! | ||||
