Inventory search suggestion

Graham

Maybe I'm doing it wrong? however…

using the sort function, I would like to sort by name, when I select sort by "NAME" I get results returned as sort order in color/name

what I would like to see is name/color.

When I sort by "COLOR" the sort order is similar only name is not in order.

This may not be the best example below, so, when I search by name I would like to see all (in this example) Panel 14 in color order, then all panel 16 in color order, then all panel 18 in color order and so on.

I hope this makes sense?? I think what's happening is that the color is being used as the first word of the name, instead of the name itself (ie for "sort by name" the name should be read as "Right Panel **" NOT "Black Right Panel **")


Here is the example - I am trying to sort the technic panels so I am in inventory :: search Right Panel

using sort by name - order is

LEGO Black Right Panel 14
LEGO Black Right Panel 18
LEGO Black Right Panel 6
LEGO Green Right Panel 2
LEGO Green Right Panel 21
LEGO Orange Right Panel 18
LEGO Orange Right Panel 2

and so on

using sort by color - order is

LEGO Black Right Panel 6
LEGO Black Right Panel 18
LEGO Black Right Panel 14
LEGO Green Right Panel 2
LEGO Green Right Panel 21
LEGO Orange Right Panel 2
LEGO Orange Right Panel 4

and so on

What I would LIKE to see when sorting by name would be

LEGO Black Right Panel 14
LEGO Green Right Panel 14
LEGO Black Right Panel 18
LEGO Green Right Panel 18
LEGO Orange Right Panel 18
LEGO Green Right Panel 2
LEGO Orange Right Panel 2
LEGO White Right Panel 2
LEGO Green Right Panel 21

This would be helpful for me as well, as the current sorting method has caused me problems today.

Yep, this has been brought up before. The color needs to be independent of the name. +1 again.

Agreed +1

I believe that should now be done.

LOVELY! Thanks a million!

A huge improvement Thank You!

Without sounding too "picky" at the moment parts are grouped together by name (which is great), but the color order appears random.

Definitely workable now, would be doubly improved if the secondary sort order were color name, so, for example, with "Bricks, Standard" selected
all 1x1 will show first, but the order in which they are listed would be Black thru Yellow…

possible?
