[User Guide] Ambiguous/Confusing Wording for Sorting #343

Open nus-se-script opened 1 week ago

nus-se-script commented 1 week ago

b/ : Sort by clientʼs birthday (earliest to latest or latest to earliest). appt/ : Sort by upcoming appointment date (soonest to latest or latest to soonest)

When I thought of latest for b/ birthday, they think of the most recent birthdate.

When I thought of latest for appt/ appointment dates, i thought of the most recent appointment I will be having. Which is the same as "soonest". Maybe a better phrasing is furthest?

Team's Response

Thanks for pointing out. Our team decided to accept the suggestion provided by you to use a better phrasing, which is furthest to replace the current phrasing which is latest to avoid confusion and ambiguity. However, we believe the severity of this bug should be classified as VeryLow rather than Low, since it appears to be a cosmetic issue in the user guide. Users can reasonably assume that the sorting feature applies to both birthdates and appointment dates in ascending and descending order, so the impact is minimal.
