Laurent, Nice work on extending the advmultiselect code that I started and turning it into an actual PEAR package! I hadn't been keeping up with the pear-dev list and just today caught up on all the mail that was exchanged about the development of HTML_QuickForm_advmultiselect. I downloaded the package today via pear and tried it out in an application I am working on and it appears to work great. Good news to have your comments about this first public version.

Suggestions: *Sorting of select lists* It would be nice to have an option for the select lists to sort alphabetically when elements are moved between them. It is confusing when the list starts out sorted and then when you move an option back and forth between select lists it always gets added to the bottom. Of course, not everything makes sense to be sorted alphabetically but I'd guess that having that as the default option would work for the majority of cases and people can disable it if they don't want the sorting (or replace it with some other sorting routine that matches the data in the select). i 've worked on attempt to implement this cool feature, and one other ( move up down buttons )

i've almost finished to write code and tests. i will put online the new draft probably tomorrow now because i won't have much free time this evening. So i hope to have your feedback , but everybody are welcome to send to me too . Check in my webpage at http://pear.laurent-laville.org/HTML_QuickForm_advmultiselect in the next 16 hours. To resume: In coming new version 0.5.0 there will be at least two new features. - sorting the lists - adds move up/down buttons to manage yourself the list sort - and if i have time, the remove all / add all ability - publish of public (PEAR) version will comes few days after feeback Laurent
