Add sorting in vcf columns #4270

Closed fevac closed 11 months ago

fevac commented 11 months ago

Can we add sorting options for each of the column in the vcf view?

No. This is the first thing each new (research) user asks. What we should do is introduce a simple ranking/scoring system to order variants in rough likelihood of pathogenicity, gene panels to narrow the analysis etc!

It's good that you didn't pursue a diplomatic career! 🤣

Hehe, indeed. 😊 It was a question and deserves an answer! Ofcourse one could sort on columns, but it defeats the long term utility of the system. Users will learn a complex, likely high variance and hard to performance test set of operations.

Adding a simple ranking and gene list filter will be super though!
