[[Category:Feature|Journal Sorting]]
<!-- You can add categories to tie features back to real deployments/schools requesting them, for example
[[Category:Features requested by School Xyz|<Feature Name>]] (the |Feature Name option sorts the entry on the category page under the first letter of <Feature Name>). -->

== Summary ==
Implements sorting in the Journal UI as described in [[Design_Team/Proposals/Journal#Extended_list_view_palette|this Design Proposal]]. Also adds support for the two new properties (filesize and ctime) to the datastore.

* Name: [[User:aa| Andrés Ambrois]]
* Email: <andresambrois@gmail.com>
== Current status ==
* Targeted release: 0.90
* Last updated: 06/06/10
* Percentage of completion: 80%
== Detailed Description ==
This feature adds a ToggleButton to the Journal toolbar. In its palette, the user can select the following sorting criteria: "Sort by file size", "Sort by last edit", "Sort by creation date".
== Benefit to Sugar ==
Sorting by filesize is vital in the field where users need to free up disk space. Currently, the only way to find candidates for deletion is to access the expanded view of each entry, one by one. This can be a very time consuming process and often leads to indiscriminate deletion and thus potential loss of valuable data. This is bad.
Sorting by creation time (ctime) is also implemented as described in the Design
Proposal.
This feature was requested in [http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1915 SL1915] and sponsored by [http://activitycentral.org Activity Central].
== Scope ==
* Add support for ctime and filesize to the datastore (DONE)
* Implement sorting in the Journal (DONE)
* Add new icons to sugar-artwork (DONE)
==UI Design==
Please see [[Design_Team/Proposals/Journal#Extended_list_view_palette|the Design Proposal]].

== Release Notes ==
''The Sugar Release Notes inform end-users about what is new in the release. An Example is [[0.84/Notes]]. The release notes also help users know how to deal with platform changes such as ABIs/APIs, configuration or data file formats, or upgrade concerns. If there are any such changes involved in this feature, indicate them here. You can also link to upstream documentation if it satisfies this need. This information forms the basis of the release notes edited by the release team and shipped with the release.''
