Description michael.bemmer 2003-07-03 13:51:49 UTC 
For a user reporting an issue the start page
http://projects.openoffice.org/project/www/issues/enter_bug.cgi
is a mess. The components are listed in alphabetical order, consequently
"wordprocessor", the component with the highest issue volume, is at the bottom,
while many, many language components are listed at a more prominent place. With
maybe hundreds more languages to come, this will become worse.
We think we need a sort key for components, which enables us to define the
order. This would still allow to generate the page automatically, but we'd have
an influence on the sort order.

Enhancement request PCN 20048 has been filed with the Project
Management team. I will update this issue when they have updated the
internal request or by 7/30/03.

a possible workaround that you could try in the meantime is
capitalizing the "W" in word processor, which I believe will make that
component move to the top.

Product Management replied to the internal issue. The use of Project
Tracker in the futuer will take care of the enhancement request.
Closing issue as resolved/fixed.

1) The workaround for this is to prepend the name of the component
that you want earlier in the list with a special character, such as
'*'.  Capitalization will not work because components names are not
case sensitive.

2) Project Tracker has the capability to explicitly order the
attribute options which are the names that are available in a dropdown
list.  This way the administrator can set the order to be whatever
they want.

reopening to mark it as resolved/later
Comment 7 stx123 2003-07-10 13:35:10 UTC 
The workaround for IZ seems to be fine.
Michael might want to decide, whether we use it or not.
Changing to resolved/later for verification with Project Tracker.

CollabNet Support is currently reviewing the issues under Resolved-Later. If the
issues are fixed currently in any of the present CEE releases, then it will be
marked as Resolved-Fixed.

There might be a few issues which might not be in our future roadmap which might
be closed as Wontfix unless it does not lie under any custom request.
