I know you feel strongly about putting Sort functionality right in the face of users ;) Let me play the devil's advocate to work out whether another solution would be feasible too: - Introducing a new string to the UI comes at a cost: It draws attention away from what's really important, i.e. the files. I'm not saying sorting is not important, but is it really //that// important like you claim? - Why would only a single icon get text added next to it? - The text may be partly motivated by the lack of an appropriate icon. Shouldn't we improve the icons instead? - This conflicts with Detailed View, where some of the options are more easily accessible by clicking on the table headers. Isn't this confusing for users? Suggestion for consideration: - Add well-known <https://www.materialui.co/icon/sort> icon to Breeze. - Put only an icon in the toolbar, but still in a quite central place so it's within easy reach (as opposed to on the very right). - Solve the problem where toolbar menu buttons don't get a downwards pointing arrow with Breeze.
