[wishlist] Choose order of display (Enhancement Request)

[bryen]

I would like to see an option where I can set the determined order of display when similar messages from a person on multiple services come up. It makes replying easier if I am more likely to @reply that person via twitter than perhaps Facebook (which you really can't reply to.) But in this case, I have to click the + sign to select the service I want to reply to.

I agree. At least a "this service is always on top" while the others are in the order they are received.

[Ryan Paul (segphault)]

Yes, this is something that I have been thinking a lot about. What I would *really* like to do is order them based on the order that the accounts are listed in the account management dialog. To do that, I have to first figure out how to make the items in that dialog reorderable. This is definitely on the list of things that I would like to address post-1.0.

@Ryan with the new skins and the placement of the 'plus' sign so far way from the text, this bug is even more important, since many time i dont notice that a post is from two or more networks!

[Neil Grogan (dueyfinster)]

Sounds like an excellent way of doing it Ryan, but you should think of a way to make it obvious that ordering accounts does this function. I don't think I would guess off-hand re-ordering of accounts would do that, I might have probably thought it related grouping or something on the interface.

It's a great idea!

Another use case: many people I know now have their tweets forward to Facebook. I believe that the delay involved causes Facebook to usually appear on top, resulting in messages like:

RT @conceptdev: Yay new MacBook arrived. Faster #monotouch AND now I can hold my head high in Starbucks again (lol)

Although the message originated in Twitter, "@conceptdev" and "#monotouch" are not linkified in the Facebook version of the notice.

So this affects more than replies.
