Reordering data frames #4557

Open rdstern opened 6 years ago

rdstern commented 6 years ago

This now works in reogrid - just the same as in Excel. But I wonder if it works for us, i.e. in the Instat object? When you reorder using reogrid it is just in the front end. Does it also reorder in the metadata?

Is this feature going to be a blessing or a curse?

dannyparsons commented 6 years ago

No this doesn't link to the Instat Object so this needs to be done.

I have closed #4007, which is on the same topic. This is sort of an update. So I am changing the milestone to 0.4.17 on this one as the previous one was 0.4.16.

Here is the menu: image

@volloholic said that reordering the data frames would be (quite?) simple to do. Powerful too! They would automatically be reordered in the 3 windows data, metadata, and dataframe metadata. If so, then useful for us to do, because we pride ourselves on coping with multiple data frames.

While checking on this, it would be good to review this menu generally. A lot is disabled - I am not sure of the current/future plans, but this has been dormant for a long time.

One item that is not disabled is simply called metadata. Looks good. Here is the current dialogue: image

I am happy to keep this as it points to possible future work. What should be done?

@shadrackkibet suggested this would be a good challenge for @N-thony to try?

lloyddewit commented 2 years ago

In PR #7508 , @Patowhiz stated:

@N-thony did you manage to find away of addressing the issues that I raised above? If not, @lloyddewit @N-thony and @rdstern I now strongly suggest that we comment out the lines that call the functions added here or at the very least the code line that I mentioned for now until we get the solution. It's now clear from our current workshop, that it's very confusing to the users when the sheet that is active keeps on changing, especially when doing operations that span across multiple data frames.
