Sequential sorting over and over.

Hello to everyone.

As the title suggests;
My request is to have more sequential sorting features in the list columns.

Currently, we can only add one more sorting depending on the current sorting.

I need this feature.
I didn't need to explain what it was for.
Because it's not a complicated request. :)
I can send a screenshot if needed.

Please allow us to do more sequential sorting.

Thank you for your interest. :cup:

Too exotic. :)

You could always use a scripted custom column that assembles all necessary parts to create a custom sort order...

@Donald,
In my first massage; I said "I can send a screenshot if needed".
I'm posting a screenshot in case I didn't explain it well.
(I made a preliminary preparation when I made the request. I wrote a few notes on the screenshot and attached it to my message.)
Example in screenshot; It is to make it clear in which cases my request will be useful.
Simple example for explanation.jpg

I don't know if it was clear what I wanted without the need for this example.
If my first message contains clear enough explanation; Sorry for bothering you for the second time.

@Highend,
Thanks for your answer.
However, I don't know coding.
I can only customize an intuitive Script template.

Thank you for your interest. :)

Assuming that your data is stored in extra column 2 (year), 3 (event) and 4 (gender) and you would want to sort for:
1st: event
2nd: year
3rd: gender

Code: Select all

$ex2 = tagitems("ex2", , <cc_item>);
  $ex3 = tagitems("ex3", , <cc_item>);
  $ex4 = tagitems("ex4", , <cc_item>);
  return $ex3 . "_" . $ex2 . "_" . $ex4;
...

Thanks for the screenshot. I understand the feature, I see its use, and I know how to implement it. However, I think hardly anybody would use it. That's what I meant by "too exotic". (But I see that you could say that about some of the existing features as well.)

I would :)

It's great if you have to deal with tags / multiple ex columns...
