sort command refreshes contact list after find command

[Rachael-Chan]

Bug description: After executing find, executing sort causes the contact list to refresh.

Steps to replicate: find er

After executing find er

sort 1 n/

After executing sort 1 n/

Suggested improvement: Maybe this could be listed in the user guide so users know that they should execute sort command before executing find command to prevent the list from refreshing.

Team's Response

From the user's point of view, it makes sense that sorting the list displays all the contacts in the sorted order so that the user can easily see the results of the sort command. If the user had used the find command, it is likely that the displayed contacts list has minimal contacts and is hence unlikely that the user would need to sort the displayed list. In the event that the user does want to apply sort on the displayed list, the auto-fill feature using the up-arrow keys can allow the user to easily re-execute the find command after sorting to show the desired results with minimal inconvenience.

Based on the above reasons, we decided to reject the bug since it is the expected and correct behaviour from the user's point of view.
