| Summary | 0020353: The list in Addons dialog box is not sorted, the custom Sort option is missing | ||||
| Description | I cannot figure out what is the sorting order of the add-ons in the list; it is not alphabetical by the add-on names, nor by the date of their installation, nor by name of their authors. Anyway, it would be nice if you add an option to choose what would be that order. | ||||

Default sort is: -> Those with config ("gear") button at first (alphabetically) -> Installed addons as second group (alphabetically) -> Not yet installed (available) addons as the third group (alphabetically) We could add a combo-box with other options like [Default, Install date, alhabetically] but I guess that the default order is probably the most usable order (with configurable and instaled addons as first) ? We could add order by install-date, but it is not usable for not yet installed addons so question is which orders are really required? |

I figured out in meantime that you have configurable add-ons sorted first, but I think you are complicating things making them non-intuitive. I don't know for any other software having configurable add-ons sorted separately. Your skin list in View menu and Options dialog is not sorted with configurable skins grouped first either. I don't know about available but not yet installed add-ons that you are talking about since I don't have the mentioned third group. I guess it would be even more confusing if these add-ons are not visually different than the installed ones. For example, they could be displayed with grayed text, just like disabled add-ons in VSCode and Firefox. |
