Sample für up/down sorting

SUMMARY: The sorting in 'Settings for cropping' appears somewhat disorganized because there is no logically increasing or decreasing order. A stringent sorting from 'square' to 'line shape' or vice versa would make the required selection easier, I think.

See annex for an example

I don't actually have the division factor in my head when I see the list. I would even sort the "usual" aspect ratios up, so 1:1, 3:2, 4:3, 16:9 ... Gilles, your thought about it?

Hi Maik,

Well we can compute an hidden table with all ratio that we use to sort the list of entries.

Falling or rising trend of formats instead of alternating landscape / portrait

Ok, your second message came in. I only wants to explain by a graph, why I would prefer a stringent falling or rising sort sequence. It is not necessary to list the decimal fraction but it can be helpful for the decision of choosing a format.
Please see also the attachment. Grenn side = my suggestion; red side = current situation.
