Currently, page path is sorted by the page name.
Whilst this works well in most cases, for an auto-numbered category this means that lists are ordered based on when they were created, not based on the page title.
As the list gets longer (more and more pages are created in the category), the lack of alphabetical ordering by title will make existing list items hard to find and may even lead to duplicate items being created.
For example:
[occupation:1] Software Engineer
[occupation:2] Web Developer
[occupation:3] Soccer player
[occupation:4] Artist
[occupation:5] Football (AFL) player
[occupation:6] Football (NFL) player
[ ] Create new
These items are ordered by the page name, but ordering by the title would make more sense to users.
I agree, this is very much how it should have been from the start.
I agree also and wish for also hints or reduced lists based upon what a user typed:
If I type BEL the list of countries could be reduced to Belgium, Belarus… which makes choices in long list more userfriendly.
A - S I M P L E - P L A N by ARTiZEN a startingpoint for simple wikidot solutions.
I like that idea - though it should be possible to toggle such a feature on or off.
What you are suggesting would only be suitable when the user already knows the contents of the list and what they are searching for (e.g. a list of countries, and *maybe* a list of occupations … as the same job may be known by several names it may not be ideal).
In every other situation a regular combo-box is best.
Anyway, it's a new wish … so if you create a wish for your suggestion Steven, I will rate that up.
