Dataset page: files are listed in random order -> Sort them!

[raprasad]

Please sort files by filename. It is confusing to upload meaningfully named files and see them randomly listed.

[posixeleni]

Would be really nice to sort them by the "Category" tag as well

[mercecrosas]

yes, we need for some datasets as soon as possible a way to sort or filter them by category - we could, for example, display the categories as "tags" at the top of the page (if the dataset has any tags), and when you click in a "tag", it filters the files for that category. This is needed son to bring functionality we had in 3.6 that a few dataverses are heavily relying on.

We need sorting for sure for the patch to help resolve some other issues we're seeing.

And we need to decide if filtering by categories needs to be done now or can wait for 4.0.1.

This seems to be a duplicate of #1836

[raprasad]

@scolapasta @landreev
Didn't see this was assigned. Checked in an annotation update to sort by category and label

[scolapasta]

Files now sorted by label (filename).

Passing this issue to QA; will open new issue for @mcrosas ideas.

[scolapasta]

New issue is #2021

[kcondon]

Sorting works but noticed it treats files beginning with capital letters differently so files with caps always appears before lowercase files.

So, M51 appears before collier. Otherwise appears to work fine. Gustavo asked that I pass to @eaquigley for comment on above behavior.

[eaquigley]

Personally, I think lowercase and uppercase should be treated the same so M51 should not be appearing before collier.

[mheppler]

Where do numbers-first fall then?

Order these files:

M51, michael75, m2000, 22mheppler

This is a fun quiz!

[scolapasta]

That's easy, the challenge is aways:
1a
10a
2a

[kcondon]

Right, numbers always come before letters but 10 comes before 2 in sorting but in human readable terms it doesn't. Capital and small letters are sorted differently but in human terms they are the same.

[scolapasta]

Right. For 4.0 we are handling the upper case lower case aspect.

#s will sort alphabetically.

[kcondon]

I'm tired of this ticket, closing.

[kcondon]

OK order is fine.

@dliburd does this comment by @mercecrosas capture what you were showing me yesterday? Either, way, can you please open a new GitHub issue and include a screenshot? Thanks!
