Feature Request - Multiple Sort Criterion

[Paul Sorauer]

Hi there

Anywhere we can sort files with a criteria that can be the same, such as type, resolution and particularly colour tag, it would be really useful to then have a second sort, e.g. sort by colour tag and then date modified.

Cheers,

Paul.

How would the experience/steps of choosing two sorting criteria look like?

[Paul Sorauer]

Could be pretty simple - there might be a better way but maybe something like this:

1. Added menu item at bottom:
    
2. If the first criterion chosen is granular (is NOT a group like colour tag) then the "Then sort by" menu item would be disabled.
   1. That would mean the only when one of the following items is chosen in the top group, that the "Then sort by" menu item would be enabled:
      1. Type (A-Z)
      2. Type (Z-A)
      3. Colour Tag
      4. Media Resolution
3. Reselecting a new menu item in the top group would reset and 'blank' the 2nd criterion

In short, select a top group item and it sorts by that criterion (as is already). If I want a 2nd level sort, I just go back to the sort icon, choose the "Then sort by" menu item and then the 2nd criteria I want. To clear it I just choose a top level group criterion again.

That's probably the easiest way without larger reworking of the entire UI presentation for sorting.

I realise this is a private 'for profit' project, but I've got a bit of time on my hands - if you wanted to give me access to the repo I could always add it myself and do a pull request for you, no strings - https://au.linkedin.com/in/paulsorauer

Thoughts?
