203946 - user interface on Address Book list tab, sorting doesn't work, and should be customisable

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 158062

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

Description

[Adrian Marsh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030430
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030430

Since v1.4, I've noticed that when I pull up Window->Address Book, my 3 addres
books listed on the left hand window are now sorted. I can click the header of
the window, which I'd expect to change the sort order, but this doesn't work.
The little 'arrow' showing the sort field does change, but not the order of the
list.

Also, as an improvement I'd like to be able to customise the order of that list
(by dragging and dropping the entry within the list). I have one corporate LDAP
server that I will always check first, and at the moment that is shown last in
the list. I would like to be able to make this the primary LDAP server to use.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Address Book
2. On the left will be the list (Collected, <personal address books>, <ldap
servers>)
3. Clicking on the header should re-sort the list, but doesn't.
Actual Results:  
List stays in same non-changed order.

Expected Results:  
The list of books should have changed depending on the sort order selected via
the tab header.

using the Orbit theme.

I don't see an arrow when clicking the Addressbooks title in 1.6b, but if this
was enabled earlier, it probably kept PAB and CAB at the #1 and 2 positions,
with the appearance of no change for a three book configuration.  Ordering
addressbooks is bug 158062.
