Allow search ordering, or have a sensible default search ordering on some fields #452

Its a bit irritating when you

get to Amigo and the first annotations you see are IEA or IBA.

Could the experimental IDs show first be default? That would be much friendlier...

ordering

kltm commented 7 years ago

@ValWood From when we did early tests on this, you essentially can have cases where you would need to order thousands (or many many more for high level terms) before sending something over the wire for display. From our early tests, this was expensive enough that we decided not to do it. This is reflected in all of the APIs around the Solr, which have no order interface at this time. Looking at more recent versions of Solr, it seems that there have been improvements in this area and we should probably revisit this at some point.

This issue comes up often when AmiGO is used or demonstrated. It is really sub-optimal that we don't see experimental data first. I was showing somebody Amigo today and this was the first thing they said. This might. be a good time to priorities these things which seem really small but be really valuable for AmiGO users. If we want to encourage people to look at GO we should showcase the most relevant annotation, and that is Always experimental. \ The person I was demoing also commented on the 10 row restriction. This is also really painful for navigation and browsing. You can change the filters but hey.... (and they need reapplying once you leave the page)

I would not call this an enhancement, I would say "affects usability". @pgaudet

@ValWood Unfortunately, until we've revisited some of the issues mentioned here https://github.com/geneontology/amigo/issues/452#issuecomment-341230697, we won't have a good mechanism to affect the changes we want here. Upgrading to a recent version of Solr is in our current roadmap.
