sup talk - Feb 2011 - 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?

I assume you are talking about thread index mode.  Judging from the
code label order looks purely incidental.  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.

No. Any mode really. Even in search mode they''re random.

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.

I could see that being a must, yes.
