You've probably just forgotten to set Sorting to "Manual". Oooooh, you're right. I'd forgotten that it defaults to "alphabetically". That said: I think from a usability perspective it would make sense to have it by default sort alphabetically, while still allowing users to change the default order. That way users who don't want to sort manually wouldn't notice any difference, whereas those who do wouldn't have to change the setting first. Would that be possible? I've been thinking similarly and pondering doing that, yes (it needs some refactoring in the underlying lib, though). I always use "Manual" personally and think DND is super-useful and it bugs me how hidden it is. Absolutely! Once you've experience its usefulness, you don't want to live without that feature. And people coming to Plasma from other OSes/DEs which support it might just think it doesn't work on Plasma and not even consider looking through the settings to make it work. So, yes, it would be awesome if the aforementioned behavior could be implemented at some point. Let's repurpose this ticket then, then we won't lose this helpful context :). Nate: Please don't change titles I set, they're written to be useful to me. Sorry Eike, didn't mean to step on your toes. No worries <3 |
