Description Ethan Joffe 2004-07-29 20:51:45 UTC
Distribution: Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang)
Package: Evolution
Priority: Normal
Version: GNOME2.6. unspecified
Gnome-Distributor: Red Hat, Inc
Synopsis: multi-sort via headers
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: UI
Bugzilla-Version: unspecified
Description:
Please describe your feature request:

It would be nice to be able to sort by multiple fields without having to
customize the view.
Currently, you can customize the view and sort by multiple columns by
using the sort dialog, but you should be able to do the same thing by
clicking column headers.
For instance, say you are viewing the task list, and click on priority.
You should then be able to shift-click category so the task list is now
sorted by priority followed by category.

Setting qa contact to the default for this product.
   This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.

he's talking about the task list. but I think he means etable in general.
Comment 2 Ethan Joffe 2005-04-06 10:53:29 UTC
correct, I mean in general wherever there are multiple columns and 
it is useful to sort by more than one of them at a time
Comment 3 André Klapper 2009-11-08 16:12:14 UTC
This report has not seen any changes or updates for more than 3 years.

Also, GAL was merged into Evolution in June 2005. Actual GAL bugs are now located in the Product "Evolution", component "GAL". The external, separate GAL codebase will not receive any changes.

We kindly ask you to check whether the issue you have reported here still happens in GNOME 2.26 or 2.28. 
If so, please update this report by adding a short comment, removing the NEEDINFO state, updating the "Version" field and moving this to the Evolution product (if you have sufficient Bugzilla rights to do so).

Again thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be handled for the version you originally used here.
Comment 4 André Klapper 2009-12-17 16:52:48 UTC
Closing as per last comment. Feel free to reopen and move this to Evolution if it is still valid.
