Sorting allows actors to re-organize collection of items when the default order may be insufficient to scan.
Behavior
- The dropdown allows users to choose their sorting criteria.
- Sort selections are meant to be persisted. When actor returns to the page, their previous sort selections will be preserved.
- As soon as an item in the dropdown is selected, the list content re-sorts automatically.
- The default sort order is determined on a page-by-page basis.
To-do
- Table column sorting
- Sorting using multiple attributes
