I’ve seen one application where each click cycles through “sort up”, “sort down”, and “sort off” (but I can’t recall where). Wireshark already has “sort up” and “sort down” and cycles back to “sort up”.
Where did you see the behavior you describe? What application, and what OS/GUI (Windows, OS X, GNOME, KDE, etc.)? I see the same behavior as Wireshark in OS X's Mail application, for example.
The other thought is the menu that right click pops up, turn off sort could be there but that doesn’t seem like a good design.
Well, at least in OS X's Mail, control+click/right click on a column heading pops up a menu that includes a "Sort By" menu that offers a set of fields and a section with "Ascending" and "Descending" - it could offer "None" in the set of fields (it doesn't, but it could). I guess if you have a set of data that doesn't have a "natural" sort order, it's not clear what "None" would do; OS X Mail doesn't use mbox format, it uses a flavor of maildir (each message in a separate file), so "in the order the messages appear in the mailbox" isn't available as a "natural" sort order, but in Wireshark there's a single file and "in the order they appear in the file", which is equivalent to "ascending by frame number", is the "natural" sort order. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
