Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testopia :: User Interface, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4

When looking at a list of items in a table view, such as the list of test cases in a test plan, or the search results from Testopia Search, the column heading a clickable, I'm assuming so that one can choose to reorder the list of items by that given column's criteria. If this is indeed the case, then the number of items in the list should not change. Only the order they are sorted in.

For instance, let's say you have the following list.

Item     Color    Family
-------------------------
Apple    Red      Fruit
Bear     Brown    Animal
Orange   Orange   Fruit
Tiger    Orange   Animal
*4 records found

With the headings being clickable, as they are in Testopia lists, clicking on them should reorder the list and sort by that heading. In the previous example, clicking on "Family" would reorder the list as follows...

Item     Color    Family
-------------------------
Bear     Brown    Animal
Tiger    Orange   Animal
Apple    Red      Fruit
Orange   Orange   Fruit
*4 records found

In Testopia however, duplicates of the chosen heading get thrown out. Clicking on the same heading from the previous example would therefore produce the following...

Item     Color    Family
-------------------------
Bear     Brown    Animal
Apple    Red      Fruit
*2 records found

I don't believe this to be intended.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Test Plan.
2. Create three Test Cases within this plan, with the first and third one being in the CONFIRMED status, and the second one in the PROPOSED status.
3. View the Test Plan and scroll down to the "Test Cases" section
  ==> The three Test Cases are listed in a table in ascending order of their Test Case ID
4. Click on the "Status" heading
Actual Results:  
The list gets cut down from three to two... one with status CONFIRMED and one with status PROPOSED. The second CONFIRMED Test Case has been removed from the list

Expected Results:  
The same three Test Cases are still listed, this time in ascending order of their status. Test Cases with the same status (in this case, the two that are CONFIRMED) are grouped together.

I see this using both Firefox 2.0.0.4 and Internet Exporer 7.0
