Sorting is going to be really really really tricky especially since data is distributed and not all data is fetched to the client.

However may be possible to support searching "go to the next one with value blah" etc.

After discussing this in the weekly meeting, I think it would be acceptable to have some type of a search ability. From my standpoint, it would be OK to also limit this search to one column. For instance, search for GlobalNodeId number 100, place the curser on it, and/or highlight it.

The another problem with a true sort, eluded to above by Utkarsh, is that this is an (n)log(n) problem, at least. A search should only be (n).

After much back and forth, we've decided to implement support for sorting in a spreadsheet view.

The sorting spreadsheet feature seems to be quite stable since this commit.

Sorry for taking so long to get to this - I had client/server issues, then SC, etc.

From the little bit I have tested, I believe this is quite stable single server. However, I just created a hang multiple server as follows:

* 4 remote servers, Windows client, trunk.
* Open g1s1-10fps (Utkarsh has this, or ask me for it). This has 16 files and about 24k points, multi block dataset.
* Split Vertical, Spreadsheet View, Click on PedigreeNodeId. Hangs (or takes long enough that I gave up.

Since this feature is not obvious - if it isn't easy to fix, it is probably OK to delay a fix until the 3.10.1 release (i.e., spring).

Whooo hooo! Works!

Tested remote server (as per my modified notes above), windows client, trunk.
