Patch #1708
closed
'Assigned to' list sorts by id, not name
0%
Description
Hello!
When assigning issues to users, finding the right person in the drop down list can be more time consuming than it should - as the list grows it appears as a mess. The truth is that it's not a mess, but sorted by id - this does not make sense to a user ;-)
I have attached patches for 0.7.3, but the behavior is the same in subversion (r1709). The patches will sort by (first) name instead of id.
Please let me know if you need more information etc.
Best regards,
Christian Bryn :--)

I looked around and apparently users are sorted by lastname not ID?
+1 for the option to sort by first name however.

Attached is a patch (with tests) that make user sorted a system setting. In Administration > Settings > General is an option to sort users by first name, last name, or login. This will affect assignment boxes like the patch above and also the sorting on a Projects member page.

I think it makes sens to simply sort users by their display names so that users dropdown list are properly sorted alphabetically. It's fixed in r2010.
