[sup-talk] Label Display; Sorting Alphabetically
Hi All. Just wondering if there has ever been any consideration to sorting labels alphabetically. I''m assuming the way sup displays the labels is purely esthetic''s? -- Thanks, Phil

And I don''t remember there being any discussion on label sorting. Dump sorts the labels though, to ease keeping dump in vcs I guess. -- Tero Tilus ## 050 3635 235 ## http://tero.tilus.net/

Even in search mode they''re random.>Judging from the code label order looks purely incidental. And I don''t remember there > being any discussion on label sorting.Just putting it out there. When visialy scanning a large list it seems logical to me that one would want the labels in some order...Randomly displaying them looks messy and chaotic. Just my 2 cents.>Dump sorts the labels though, > to ease keeping dump in vcs I guess.I could see that being a must, yes. -- Thanks, Phil
