Astronomical Caliculations WUT Name sort bug #3812
Comments
Well, the AstroCalc/WUT tool has complicated rules for sorting by column "Name". Of course, we can change it, but I think we need some discussion here for sorting rules by object's type. @10110111 @gzotti @worachate001 - I want to hear your opinions. |
Hello @3domennotry! Thank you for suggesting this enhancement. |
@3domennotry what about your opinion too? |
Ideally, I think the rule in all cases should be something like this: for two names being compared,
This way we'll get the following order or sort:
|
Thank you for everything. This is my personal opinion.
It should not be changed. By the way,"Messier objects" in "search window"'s list order is name, simpley.
2-1. ex. Comets Sort by name, simpley. as same as Exoplanet Plug-in Cofiguration window. 2-2. ex. DSO Usually, DSO format is ID + space + number. First, Sort by ID. as a result. ex. C 1, C 10, M 1, M 10 However, it is maybe impossible or very difficult. 2-3. ex. Stars Almost bright stars format is follow Sorry, I have no good idea. If specifications changed is impossible or very difficult... thank you. |
Expected Behaviour
Specifications is unification.
Actual Behaviour
Specifications is not unification.
Steps to reproduce
"NGC/IC objects"
I think that order by Number.
11, 13, 14, 20.....
(Ofcourse, it is not right.)
"Bright barium stars"
I do not understand order rule.
"Comets"
I do not understand order rule.
"Bright carbon stars"
I do not understand order rule.
"Bright stars"
I do not understand order rule.
Curiously, when the sorting is repeated in descending and ascending order, the results change.
System
(Sorry, I can not speak English very well.)
thank you.
