Right now I can sort siblings - in ascending order.
I'd like to be able to sort:
- children
- by date
- by flag
etc.
I can do some of these from within the related items panes, but that's not the same as being able to do it in the Data Explorer.
Also - it would be nice if I could set the sort function in the item attributes pane. I envision two fields to accomplish this. #1 would let me tell UR whether an item's children should be sorted. #2 would specify the kind of sort.
Finally - for now
- it would be oh-so- cool to be able to do secondary and even tertiary sorts. That's probably asking way too much, but I just wanted to make the suggestion ...
IMHO - In general, things I can do in the related items panes ought to be doable from the DE unless it really makes no sense or is overly difficult and/or expensive to implement.
thanks

- Another thought: I'd like to be able to sort on two other things - in both ascending and descending order:
* the size (disk space) that a node and its children take up and
* the number of descendants (children, grandkids, great grandkids, etc.)
