sorting colum choices

Hi Colin

Would it be possible to sort the list of columns into alphabetical order? (view -> columns) Sometimes its a bit hard to find what you want.

Just an idea, It could be handy to be able to make templates from a series, ie desired columns, layout etc, then use them for subsequent series.

Best Regards

Dazz.

p.s. the sailwave wiki looks excellent, nice work!

Hi Dazz

Click on the grey title at the top of each column & it sorts in order

Click again & it sorts in the reverse order.

If you also want to sort by a second column, hold control down & click on the title of the second column

One tip also with SW is that when publishing (to spreadsheet or whatever) it is published as you see it on the screen WYSIWYG

This is very useful if you want to sort as per your query or print out say finishing data instead of points scored

Hope this helps

Ralph

Hi Ralph

Yeah that works for the columns that have data in them on the main screen, but it does not hold true for the menu where you turn on/off each column for viewing/publishing

ie

View then click columns (in 1.92 its changed the name in 1.94)

in this menu you can see Column, view, publish name, width.

As far as I can see this list is completely random and is hard to navigate

Cheers

Sorry Dazz

After reading your email again, realise now what you are talking about ;-(

Suspect Colin did not add such a facility because users would set their own order with most used at the top of the list.

Suppose you could sort them all manually (once only) then move up & down from there??
