Task - CO/CE Filters - reorder filter results

[AntWeb-org]

Feature or enhancement

In viewing the filter results, I would like to be able to set a custom view (based on the custom layout) in order to see our data clearer. For example, it would be more helpful to see our filter results displayed in various orders: subfamily/genus/species/determiner or catalog number/taxon name/type status/field ID, etc..

We need a snapshot of various combinations of data and it would be great to be able to move the individual columns around instead of scrolling back and forth.

Hello,

Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding, but what I need is to be able to sort the table based on multiple columns? For example, sort by genus and species? currently you can sort columns by pressing on table header, but it will sort based on that particular column

2. When you say "various combinations of data" do you mean creating more custom layouts?

3. Currently you can move columns around from the custom layout panel, just drag the column below or above the other columns. The pointer probably doesn't reflect this when it's over it, I'll add a visual reference to this.

I did not know we could move the order within the custom layout panel - sweet! But I cannot move the columns in the layout panel, only what is under each column.

But yes, sorting the table columns in the filter results or in the custom layout panel would be helpful.

So right now, after moving some sub-headers around under the DwC Occurrence column in the custom layout panel, the columns in the filter resultsare still not in the preferred order. It's almost correct though.

That could be a bug due to the order in which the columns were selected, maybe if you drag some of them and put them back in place, it will fix it. I will investigate what is happening and fix it.

Thank you! I'll see what I can do.

@AntWeb-org fixed the order.

Now in layout preferences, you can change the position of the columns in the same way you can do with the properties, to do so just drag on the section title to the left or right. These changes are not yet in production, so you'll see them in the next update.

Adding more user-customized layouts is something I have in mind and will add soon, but for now I hope these changes are helpful.

Thank you José - that will be amazing!
