Ordering in data panel during acquisition is inconsistent #388

Open cmeyer opened 4 years ago

cmeyer commented 4 years ago

Sorting is done with all live items first reverse-alphabetically; then by date. However, live items include dependents of acquisition items. So an FFT named "zFFT" can appear first in the list.

An improved sorting would be data channels sorted first alphabetically then by channel index; then live items alphabetically; then by date/uuid.

I've added PR #678, but not merging due to bad performance. See notes in the PR.
