me: "I wasn't sure if we were going to sort it, maybe showing budgets that have been exceeded nearest the top."
@chrisandryan: "Yeah so petrol and things are more important than the 1 off monthly payments."
me: "Then I thought maybe accounts with most transactions near the top."
@chrisandryan: "Yes most transactions is a good default order."
me: "Is it not more helpful from the user's point of view, for us to sort them by most transactions then? Otherwise we will need to make a setting to turn off sorting"
@chrisandryan: "Hmm... I think if we can we should let the user pick their own order."
me: "For example, let's say its sorted, and I move gas in between rent and electricity, the next time we display it, how can we put gas in between if the sorted order has changed."
@chrisandryan: "Not sure of the complexity of it, so I think go with the initial plan to sort for them."
me: "Ok the user wont want to spend a tonne of time in the app ordering so I think that's better taken care of by us."
Sort accounts/budgets by most transactions and sort transactions by most recent, or let the user pick their own order (move them around)?
