SUMMARY When I want to digitally sign a document, use OpenPGP keys for this, have a lot of keys (for each email address a different key and a lot of email addresses), I cannot find the key to use since the list presents the key seemingly unordered (ordering seems to be key creation date). Which makes this functionality practically useless for me. FEATURE WISH Be able to sort the OpenPGP keys when using them for signing by email address and other attributes. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a lot of OpenPGP private keys, 2. configure Okular signing backend to use OpenPGP: "Settings" -> "Configure Backends" -> "PDF" -> "Signature Backend: GnuPG (S/MIME)" -> "Allow PGP keys for signatures (Okular extension)", 3. open a document where a digital signature can be added, 4. Do "Tools" -> "Digitally Sign ..." 5. Be presented with a long list of possible identities (OpenPGP keys with their email address) in now useful order. OBSERVED RESULT Be presented with a long list of possible identities (OpenPGP keys with their email address) in now useful order. EXPECTED RESULT Keys ordered by email address by default, other ordering options (Key ID, real name, creation date) optional. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Artix GNU/Linux (rolling release), not using any desktop, starting Okular standalone. KDE Plasma Version: not using any desktop, starting Okular standalone. KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0 Qt Version: 6.10.2 and built against 6.10.1
Correcting a typo: "now useful" should be "no useful".
How would you like them sorted?
(In reply to Sune Vuorela from comment #2) > How would you like them sorted? I think different people will find different sorting options usable. For me, Email address ("ID"), but that would not really work for keys with multiple IDs. I propose to add an option to select sorting by Fingerprint, email address ("ID"), real name, creation date, expiration date, as well as a search field.
