Proposed patch to sort locations by timezone. (3.03 KB, patch)
2014-07-23 17:29 UTC, Mike Gorse 		none Details | Review

Description Yanko Kaneti 2013-05-29 04:27:19 UTC 
From downstream redhat bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=967868
"The clocks added to gnome-clocks are displayed in the order in which they are added.  The ability to sort them by increasing times (i.e. showing cities in west->east order) is helpful, as was available in gnome 2.x."
Comment 1 Allan Day 2013-05-29 17:04:58 UTC 
Maybe it would make sense just to make this the default sort order.
Comment 2 Yanko Kaneti 2013-05-29 17:31:17 UTC 
IMHO it should allow just drag and drop reordering (or whatever the touch equivalent of that is called) without anything "sort" in the UI.

Why?

Proposed patch to sort locations by timezone.

We decided that we wanted this for SLED, so I made this patch.
Comment 5 Paolo Borelli 2014-07-27 08:53:50 UTC 
I reworked Mike's patch to not expose GtkTreeView to the caller (so that it will be easier to try to replace the implementation with GtkFlowBox) and pushed the patch.


Allan: try it out and let me know if you like the sorting activated by default.
