Sorting list of all senior seminars #11

Closed devshawn closed 5 years ago

devshawn commented 7 years ago

On the new website, the list of all seminars should be sorted differently (in my and others opinions). Also, it should probably eventually be paginated and/or allow for sorting on other columns (jQuery datatables could be a good choice).

I propose that the list be primarily sorted descending by seminar date, and then secondarily sorted ascending by last name of the author. I can provide an example if necessary.

Could you implement this @floogulinc? I think it would make it a lot easier to see recent seminars and have a more straightforward sorting of all seminars. If not, I could implement it and submit a PR, but I don't have a ton of free time. This is just a suggestion from myself and a few friends.

Reversing the sorting so it descending order of date is easy and will be implemented. Right now the second layer of sorting is based on date/time of the individual presentation, but could probably be changed to last name (would require logic to match to just the last name as name is a single field).

@devshawn: The changes to sort initially in descending order have been made, and the page now shows pagination properly.

Regarding sorting by last name, I think that this could be helpful. However, I would argue that it's a nice-to-have. I doubt many people go through the whole list on this page; they probably instead go through by semester anyhow.

Fixed by #20

floogulinc commented 5 years ago

@elenam nothing to do with sorting was changed in #20. The sorting was changed to descending order of seminar date in 1c1061c96c5c15f291e2a1a499dcd553ef8aad1c but sorting by last name has not been added as it would be pretty difficult to implement.

As long as there is a search option, we don't need sorting by last name.
