I can't share my .tsv files, but we can use some public .csv files: https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/tree/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series
sheet col row longname input keystrokes comment
open-file Errata.csv o
open-file time_series_covid19_confirmed_global.csv o
open-file time_series_covid19_confirmed_US.csv o
open-file time_series_covid19_deaths_global.csv o
open-file time_series_covid19_deaths_US.csv o
open-file time_series_covid19_recovered_global.csv o
Errata sheets-stack S open Sheets Stack: join or jump between the active sheets on the current stack
sheets name sort-desc ] sort descending by current column; replace any existing sort criteria
Sheets-sheet will be closed immediately after the sort-command. (In this case sorting was successful, but as mentioned abouve, with my *.tsv files sorting not even worked always.)
Hi @klartext!
This is by design. =) See here for more detail about why this is happening: https://github.com/saulpw/visidata/issues/518
Thanks for writing such a comprehensive report about the situation!
Small description Opening the sheets-sheet of some .tsv or .tsv, then sorting columns does not work, or does work and closes sheets-sheet immediately afterwards. Behaviour differs between my set of .tsv and my set of .csv. Also not all column names show the same behaviour.
Expected result Sorting of sheet-sheets works as in any other sheet: data will be sorted with [ and ] and notheng else happens. Sheet will not be closed automatically.
Steps to reproduce with sample data and a .vd Different steps. Will add the vd-output in seperate comments later.
Just short description: for a bunch of *.tsv files I got the following behaviour:
Sheets-View:
Column "name":
Column "nRows":
Other Columns seem also to have problems.
Using a set of *,csv files I got the behaviour that for [ as well as ] the sheet-sheet closes (but sorting seems to work).
