Thanks for keeping this thread alive. I know that there are strong feelings about alpha sort NOT becoming an option, and many use cases have been proposed, all responded to with defenses of tags and other sorts of search.
I’d love it if someone could suggest a way for me to handle the following use case:
I have 25 topics, each containing a video up for discussion.
It’s important that people work through the videos in the right order.
So, if I number the topics and have an alpha sort, we’re done. The user can start at the top, and work their way down. All they have to remember is where they left off and pick up next time.
BUT
If I use any of the many existing sort options, they get scrambled. The one possible hack is creation date, but that makes it really difficult for me to edit the list in any useful way.
Am I misunderstanding my use case, or am I stuck? I asked the bot, but he gave up.
Thanks.
@codinghorror Jeff, not sure if this hit your radar…
thanks for considering.
