Description David-john Burrowes 2002-06-12 23:09:11 UTC 
Each of the debugger views should be sorted by one of its columns, by default, and its column 
should be marked to indicate the direction that that column is sorted in.  However, all the views 
initially appear without any sort indication until the user explicitly sets one.
Comment 1 Jan Jancura 2002-06-13 10:52:56 UTC 
You are right. Original state of debugger views is "unsorted". Do you
think that its so bad? Automatic sorting after each F8/F7 takes some
time (performance) of course. So is this requirement so strong?
Comment 2 David-john Burrowes 2002-06-13 23:28:53 UTC 
I agree that stepping performance is really really important.  more important than this.

So, perhaps instead the "sort by" menu should have a "None" item and it should be chosen by default and when it is 
chosen the "ascending" and" descending" items would be disabled?

That is, I'd see something like

Sort By   >  (*) None
             ( ) Column 1
             ( ) Column 2
             ( ) Column 3
             -----------
             (*) Ascending     <-- disabled
             ( ) Descending    <-- disabled
 

(this is probably too big a change for 3.4, though)

-> openide
Comment 4 akemr 2002-06-25 09:02:15 UTC 
Fixed in trunk.

(I already solved very similar request of Tor Norbye - #24613,
so I just slightly modified it to fit your UI)

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
