Hi William! I would have this as a general request for any list. :) I believe sorting for any list is almost an expectation nowadays regardless of the size. Lists become more tedious to use when not sorted the longer the list is. But, non-sorted lists can still be a nuisance even in smaller lists. I would categorize this defect as affecting user experience and ease-of-use of software.
If it’s not a functionality that can be implemented/changed/improved on, or not feasible for the project, I’ll leave that decision up to you all and the project team. :)
With 1k disks available, this issue appears more noticeable when trying to find specific disks to use for DRAID disk replacement. My request is to implement the following for Storage > Manage Disks, “Replace” button :
Sorting of the full list of disks vs subsets. Looks like there is some alphabetic sorting but doesn’t appear to be fully implemented for the full list of disks
When attempt to search the disks with key stroke entry, the search appears to only be working on the first or first and second characters entered. Would be nice to have multiple character search string as in my case, there were quite a lot of disks that having the first character as “s”, etc
Test Environment: m60-100 system with TrueNAS-SCALE-23.10.0-INTERNAL.9 installed
Related Test case: n/a, found during freeform testing of DRAIDS
