Folders? Something similar? Sort by alphabet?

Hi, I am still facing a little bit an issue with too many spaces and how to orientate myself among them.

What would help probably / possibly:

eventually paid users will be able to use teams. in theory you could create multiple teams to represent folders: Teams (In Beta) . assuming you could create teams, would this work for your use case?

Isn’t that a little bit unintuitive? :confused: Maybe something different if folders are not the best solution in your eyes?

For alphabetical sorting and similar: There is already this filter but it seems to be very underused.

Alphabetical sorting is something I could add to this dialog relatively easily

That would be definitely something that would help a little bit.

alphabetical sorting shipped. in the screenshot you’ll see that when ‘abc’ button is selected, all spaces below your favorites get sorted alphabetically

also slightly redesigned the filter panel to be easier to understand

Nice, but now I am afraid that I maybe caused you more issues than before. Because now I notice that I actually don’t see all spaces in the left panel but just maybe one 3rd of them… Which I guess is a normal behaviour?

Not normal. I’ve seen a similar issue with journals when I sort by date created. I had been meaning to dig further into this, but it seems a bit random to what’s missing.

I was wondering about that. It looks like the list is limited to what is pulled down from the server initially. So I’m only seeing up to. And the list is not getting updated, so I can only see the spaces near the beginning of the alphabet.

I guess that as soon as one adds alphabetical sorting, then you come to the expectation of seeing all spaces in some form :confused: . I see only some 60 spaces. I am sorry for causing inadvertently a new issue for you.

(In any case, there should be probably some way for seeing a list of all spaces…)

if you’re not seeing all spaces, that’s a seperate bug with a spacelist performance optimization that i’ll fix

released a fix. try scrolling the spacelist now and you should see new spaces show up once you scroll to the bottom

Yes, now I see them all. This brings me to very minor things:

Obviously now the default sorting is:

  • All Upper case letters
  • Then all Lower case letters

Thus:
“eInk” comes first after “XQuery”.

This is a minor thing, I am just letting you know and it is up to you whether to fix it.

Even more minor thing is that it does not sort properly Latin letters of other languages than English. Thus Ä comes again after “XQuery”.

Again, this is is a minor inconvenience for me, just letting you know. And I am aware that sorting letters can get quite messy when you consider that each language does this differently.

That should be an easy fix in theory. I’m using the default lodash sortby method for this , but if you find some better lib or js method I can try that

On case sensitivity, I am sorry I am not great at programming but it seems to me that it is quite a common issue with your library with a relatively simple solution, if I understand the code correctly.

orderby doesnt’ seem to work like that irl, guess that docs site is wrong. anyways fixed this w a custom algo in the next release
It’ll ignore emojis and symbols , then sort in order of Aa, Bb, Cc and so on…
