The new sidebar is great but I would love to see the following feature: Under Appearance I would love to see a sorting option. [image] Sort options could be: Alphabetical, A-Z / Z-A Time/Date Modified, Newest first / Oldest first Time/Date Created, Newest first / Oldest first Custom, allowing c…

Voted for this. Custom sorting is my most wanted feature, but the other sorting versions would also be very helpful!

Currently, widgets just follow the sort from the views. So if you want a custom sort, you can always try to use a collection instead of a set if possible. Also, just implementing custom sort for sets as well would solve this issue, at least temporary.

Except collections are not automatic and new objects are not added automatically. It’s some kind of work-around at the moment but it’s very hacky and does not replace the need for this feature :slight_smile: Thanks for the tip though! :+1:

Sets, on the other side, are automatic and you can use those for widgets too.

Oh yeah, I misunderstood. I thought you were saying that implementing in the future a custom sort for sets would fix this. You are right I did not think of creating a set, then sorting it. My bad, and thank you again! :+1:

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND I recommend introducing a function that would allow users to rearrange the order of objects within the widgets in the sidebar/navigation menu. HOW COULD IT BE DONE One way this could potentially be implemented is through a drag and drop interface within each widget. Users coul…

A bunch of UX/UI feature requests and bugs after 1 year of using Anytype Any Talk

[3F0FCBB5-0530-42BB-8263-9115505063D9_4_5005_c] This is a standard widget when some Set is selected as the source. In my example, it is a set of professional concepts and acronyms. I’ve now further investigated the cause and found out that the lexicographical order was inherited from the View I selected in the widget dropdown, and if I change the sorting by creation date in that View, the changes are reflected in the widget as well. But if this makes sense in the Set itself (it’s always easie…
