131204 - rdf in help panels should sort case-insensitively.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Help Documentation, defect)

Description

[Ian Oeschger (gone)]

RDF wants to sort itself case-sensitive, with the capitalized headings at the
top. We need to do some manual sorting of the elements so that lists such as the
glossary and the index are more sensible.

Attachment: patch to sort the search results but not sort the glossary

doing something general for sorting might be impractical, given how things need
to be displayed differently in the various panels. This patch sorts the search
list but not the glossary (which is sorted in the source file).

Comment 3

[Ian Oeschger (gone)]

Sorting solution figured out: glossary is sorted in RDF/XML file itself (and
thus not in the tree), and search results are sorted in the tree, albeit not
case insensitively. But this is sool, because the lowercase search terms are
glossary items by convention, and look nice sitting at the bottom of an
otherwise uppercase list of terms. Marking FIXED.
