Add sortable columns to Admin > Users table
Pajamas issue for Table Builder
✏ ️ Figma work file
Problem
This table already has columns however the sort ability is disconnected to a drop down.
| table | sort drop down |
|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
Concerns
- Moving the sorting feature to column headings will cause problems because there are more sortable options in the drop down than columns.
- Can we iterate on this to something a bit smaller in scope.
- does an MVC allow for current column sorting as well as drop down sorting
- does this cause conflicts in the display behavior?
- what is the accessibility concern in having sorting in 2 different locations.
- does it have to be all or none?
- What are the mobile screen views/behaviors
- where does a the data for customized columns live for the user once they are changed?
Proposal
I would like to propose an improvement to table column sorting around the idea of a table builder. This would allow a user to build a table with values they need. This would be the foundation to build for a more modern table sorting behavior. See related issue: gitlab-design#770 (closed)
