hi all, The next release 0.5.0 of HTML_QuickForm_advmultiselect is on way. Please, have a look (and test if possible), this version which adds: - auto arrange select lists (if requires)
The auto-sort seems to happen only when adding or removing items, instead of when the form moes back after clicking on one of the sort buttons (note that it is a bit contradictory with your note on "POST" order.) I would also think that feature should be enabled by the form programmer only and not by the end user, so to not clutter the space and avoid round-trips to the server... Otherwise, a set of check of radio buttons or checkboxes **may** be a better choice for the sort order instead of the 3 buttons. Something like "Asc", "Desc" checkboxes and a "Sort" button. It seems clearer to me, especially that "No auto arrange" button. However, this may not simplify the overall usability of the element. Hence, that sort feature should.
- adds move up and down button to arrange selection list as you want
When you select multiple items (Ctrl+Click) in the "selected" list, the "Up" and "Down" only move the first one.
- keep POST order when redisplay
New suggetion: The last moved items should be highlighted in the destination list. It would give a nice feedback to the end user, especially when the list is auto-sorted. What is the "reset" button supposed to be doing? Otherwise, good job, this thing is getting full featured quickly... -Philippe
