Sorting One's Journal

When you are in your journal working on a category at the top of your entries is:

Click on any table header to sort by that column.

Sorting by ...

"Any Table Header" is not strictly true. You cannot sort on Status, Entries or Actions. I for one, would love to be able to sort by the "Status" column because then I would be able to group plants in the same status together within a category. To give you a concrete example, I have, or have had, 23 types of Aroids - two have died and I want to replace them, also I have a number of tubers which are currently dormant and I want to check them for growth. What I want to do is print out all my aroids, grouping the dead ones, the dormant ones, the propagated ones etc. Then I have a nice single sheet of paper I can take out into the garden, look at all my plants, write my notes and come back to the computer and update my journal accordingly.

I know Dave is busy, but would it be possible to add this request to his huge workload? Pretty Please! LOL! Kaelkitty

Bump - Pretty Please with Sugar On! LOL!

Hello Kaelkitty. If you go to the bottom of your Joural page to Access by Status you can pull up by dormant, dead, propagated, etc. Then you can print that page. It would help if you use these statuses just for aroids, if you want to pull only them.

I think she was hoping to have all her aroids regardless of status show up on one page, but then be sorted according to the status so all the live ones were together, all the dead ones were together, etc. With the way the journal is set up now, you'd have to print out a separate page for each status, you can't get it all on one page unless you're willing to live with the order being all jumbled up.

Yes Ecrane has got it, that's exactly what I want to do - my plant journal is big (over 800 plants with about 600 yet to enter)
but I tend to think in botanical categories and if I want a printed list I usually want all the related plants so that is how I've made my categories. Aroids is actually a trivial example (imagine printing out all 500+ of the succulents and then trying to cross check for dormant, propagated, dead, etc etc!) Thanks Kaelkitty.
