Description Piotr Keplicz 2011-10-10 21:41:21 UTC

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

In Kmail1 favorite folders were displayed as a list that could be sorted or ordered manually.

In Kmail2 favorites are shown as cluttered icons shown in no particular order.

Please restore the old view or give an option to choose the view type and change folders order. Currently it's a usability regression compared to previous Kmail versions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Add some folders to favorites. Watch them appear in a random order in the favorites view.


Expected Results:  
A user should be able to switch the view from icons to a list. Also it should be possible to arrange the icons (automatic or manual sorting). Just like in Kmail1.

Hi,
It seems, that this is fixed only partially. The favorite folders can be displayed as list now (thanks), but without possibility to manually sort this list. Some auto sorting is used, but I don't understand what is the key. The list is not sorted alphabetically nor in order as the folders were  added.

BR,
plk

I can confirm the sorting issue with KDE 4.8.4 (openSuSE 12.2). It seems the sorting is in the order by which folders are added to the list. Is it possible to reopen the bug? Or should a new bug report be filed?
