[TC9b5] Unchanged sort order + Descending doesn't work

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

[TC9b5] Unchanged sort order + Descending doesn't work

Post by *petermad »

If I make a View mode where the Sort order is set to "Unchanged" and the"Descending" checkbox is selected, I expect any current ascending sort order to be reversed when invoking the View mode - but currently in TC9b5 it is not happening.

Sorry, this doesn't make any sense, "Descending" doesn't mean "reversed". With your logic, leaving it unchecked would always change from "Descending" to "Ascending" sort order. But user has chosen to leave it unchanged...

I don't mean that it should be reversed if it the current sort order is already Descending, but if it is Ascending (no matter the field) it should be changed to Descending to honor the setting the user made by marking the Descending checkbox

Otherwise I suggest to disable the checkbox for Descending when "Unchanged" is chosen. If an option isn't applicable it shouldn't be possible to choose it.
