[Openerp-community] missing sort and filter features

[Ferdinand Gassauer]

Hello Fabien! Following various topics like BI, CMS, WMS v8 looks very promising nevertheless some basics are missing for years now search and order non database (function, translations) fields  (a 100€ patch for 6.0 is available) sort of product names with language German in trunk does not sort. filter accounts balance !=0 not possible taken from http://trunk-new-graphview-ged-28445-all.runbot.openerp.com this is unusable for some 100 records put data content in a "frame" - menus, buttons and headers must normally remain visible to avoid scrolling one2many_sorted https://www.openerp.com/apps/trunk/one2many_sorted/ this should be integrated into the base the "unsorted" o2m fields are a major and long term (2008) outstanding problem. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openobject-server/+spec/sorted-output https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openobject-server/+spec/sorted-lists https://developer.gnome.org/hig-book/stable/controls-lists.html.en#controls-lists-sortable users are only capable to "sort" (find) data in short lists (up to 3-10 records) everything else must be sorted using a user friendly "natural" key (not ids). I also want to emphasize that the _order clause in the class specification is NOT sufficient if * the resource has multiple "natural" keys (account_move_line, stock_move...) or * if the resource has to be (NLS) sorted using a foreign key only reachable via (multiple) m2o fields. using sequences is a valid option, but usually needs user interaction to define the sequence order and is often not necessary if a natural key is used as default. Many users will enjoy these options as it enhances user experience a lot. -- Best regards Ferdinand
