7.0 can not sort columns of o2m widgets

[Ferdinand]

feature loss from 6.1

o2m columns (at least stored columns ) could be sorted by clicking on the column header.

Hello Dr.Ferdinand,

I have checked your bug report, But this is not a bug but rather than it's your suggestion to add this features in 7.0 also. so we can consider this is as your suggestion and considering it as a "Wishlist".

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello Amit!

I can not agree with your answer!

This was a (partly) working feature in 6.1 which is gone in 7.0

How do you want partners to explain feature loss to their clients .......????

[Asgardinho (felipereyesazul)]

I agree with Ferdinand, the loose of features that were not expected, should not be considered as wishlist.

[Carlos Sierra Andrés (csierra-h)]

I agree with Ferdinand and Asgardinho. You can't consider this a wishlist. If you lose the ability to create new records is it going to be considered a wishlist?
It is my opinion that this is a feature that any program that lists data should have. Right at this moment this bug can even be considered a blocker IMHO.

I guess there are good reasons for this but, in the case of the FieldOne2Many, the sortable feature is explicitily disabled in view_form.js:5539

Enabling sortable here seems to work (at least in the cases I have tried) since FieldOne2Many leverages on BufferedDataSet, which has sorting capabilities.

The case of FieldMany2Many is similar, but in this case you need to change the inheritance of Many2ManyDataset to inherit from BufferedDataSet instead of DataSetStatic.

I can't tell right now which are the implications for changing these bits of code but it may help someone who is in an urge.

If someone tries this and finds some reason why this is not a good idea I would really appreciate.

Bests.

just want to point to
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~camptocamp/c2c-rd-addons/7.0/files/head:/one2many_sorted/
passing the column name(s) + direction (up/down) to this function would solve the problem for all type of columns

please read the modul description
