Reverse sort by time - earliest notifications at top #209

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi Roymam, great work, I have a suggestion: Issue 72 (suggestion by someone 
else) was closed but not implemented, but I think it's a very valid suggestion.

For myself at least I find it natural to have the earliest notification at the 
top and the latest notification at the bottom. Especially for IM apps like 
whatsapp, it's natural to read the conversation from top to bottom.

Otherwise, I need to scroll all the way to the bottom then start reading, 
scrolling up as I go, which is unnatural.

Could we have an option to reverse sort by time (earliest at top to latest at 
bottom)? This is how notifications appear on the iOS lockscreen as well.

The problem is that Android 4.2 collapsed widget is very small and you'll see 
only the first 3-4 notifications, so from the 5th notification and above - 
there screen will turn on but you won't see any difference until you scroll the 
list, since the notification will be added to a hidden position.
This is why I don't see the point of this feature.
What happens on iOS when you've got more notification that can be displayed on 
the lock screen? does it add it to the end of the list where you can't see it?

yes on iOS, it adds it to the end of the list and you scroll down.

I see how if you set it up to flash the screen on, you want the latest 
notification on top. But I have that option turned off as the battery won't 
last as long if the screen goes on every time a message comes in, I have the 
notification LED for that. Plus it can be distracting.

The collapsed widget is small, but when I get a lot of notifications I just 
swipe down to extend it, then scroll down to read. (It'd also be great to have 
the PIN/Pattern challenge minimised so there is more space for notifications, 
but as I understand it you need to root to get that).
