[trunk] products sorted by id instead of name+variant

[Ferdinand]

unfortunately in v6 the products are still sorted by template_id

to display the "first" n resource is complete waste of server-time , band width and user time !

this does not conform to what was discussed in various ergonomy forums,blueprints etc

[Samantha (samantha-z-mathews)]

i think, it needs only chnge in _order.

[Ferdinand (office-chricar)]

it v5 it was not possible enter product_template.name as sort paramter

possible Solution in v5) : stored related field product_name in product_product

Hello Dr Ferdinand ,

Thanks for reporting,
It has been fixed in lp:~openerp-commiter/openobject-addons/trunk-addons-aag
by products sorted by code
Revision ID: <email address hidden>
Revision num: 5030.
It will be available in trunk soon,

thanks for looking into this

it's a usability issue
IMHO what usualy is needed is
* product_category_name
* code
* product_name
or
* product_category_name
* product_name
* code

I think Open ERP should be very flexible here

the only way to get a "usable" result now is to encode product category name and name into "code" field

please foward this to the usability people
