Reorder servers in server list #99

Open DarthGandalf opened 9 years ago

DarthGandalf commented 9 years ago

Reported by Alumin on 12 Mar 2008 17:22:20 UTC It would be nice if the servers in the server list could be re-ordered; specifically, within a network. The issue is that I may have several servers defined for a network, but when I type "/server ", it always/only connects to the first one -- which may be halfway around the world -- and I can't change it. Now, of course, I could always connect to the individual servers directly, but that kinda defeats the purpose of configuring the properties of the network.

As a side note, this issue kinda goes with #79 (Automatic reconnection to a server of the same network). I would suggest that the order for rotation be based on the order the servers appear in; that way the user can specify multiple servers for a network, and have KVIrc try to connect to them in order of preference.

Merge duplicate ticket #1564 on 31st December 2015

I'd like to specify the order of networks in the tabs tree (I'm using autoconnect to more than one network), is there a way to achieve it? So I'd like to have a network before another one, when connected. If it's not possible can you add this feature? Thank you.

What is the "tabs tree"?

un1versal commented in #1564

I imagine the OP is referring to the server lists (and by extension) the window tree list, where you cant reorder servers/channels manually and are stuck between the default order and where channels/servers in window tree/classic list, broken sort options and whatever the connection order happens to place them in the order.

I think the classic window list suffers from this limitation as well.

There was a request somewhere for allowing click and drag custom ordering to these things... let me see if I can find it.

This seem like a duplicate of #99

I think this is a duplicate and therefore merge them.

TheReign commented in #1564

the window tree list is auto-sorted by name and doesn't care about connection order, that's why I'm confused.

The servers yes, channels ordering is not the same though. Mind I only bring channel ordering into this because you cant custom order any of it and channel ordering doesnt seem to follow the name ordering thing anyway... Then you have sort option in right click and in theme settings that further confuse this more imo.

ghost commented 8 years ago

In the tree view, networks, channels, and queries are all alphabetically sorted for me. I'm not sure where you're seeing them sorted differently. I'd need to see an example.

un1versal commented 8 years ago

Sure thing,

This is my auto connection result for freenode, if you tell me that right, Ill shut up about it...

capture

After this, is when sort by name is enabled

capture capture1

and then you have right click sort/and reverse sort, where sort does nothing here and reverse sort is goes back to the default when theme options is disabled or not set in theme.

ghost commented 8 years ago

I have "Sort windows by name" checked and mine are all sorted correctly. I've never seen it not sort properly, so this is new to me.

un1versal commented 8 years ago

sort by name is also not right imo as per results, no idea either unless thers some hidden setting Im not aware of.

ghost commented 8 years ago

Your first example has them sorted in reverse and second example is sorted in normal order.

##wimm should be sorted before #kodi alphabetically.

un1versal commented 8 years ago

In my alphabet K comes before W, clearly the double ## make this go bang.

ghost commented 8 years ago

You're forgetting that # is before K. Not sure why you'd assume #K would be before ##.

un1versal commented 8 years ago

No idea, back ontopic you cant custom sort anything.

ghost commented 8 years ago

I'm not sure which topic you're talking about. #99 is for a different thing than #1564. shrugs

This was pertinent to #1564 as far as I see it.

un1versal commented 8 years ago

Ive re-read the both and idk where custom ordering (in essence of requests) wont apply to both tickets Or maybe its sleep deprivation talking?

1) It would be nice if the servers in the server list could be re-ordered; specifically, within a network. 2) I'd like to specify the order of networks in the tabs tree

they talk about different things but is custom order pure and simple, when implementing one surely you cant ignore the other?
