Gordon Collett said: Dear Software Design and Engineer Teams:
Thank you for the recent updates to the temple and ordinance pages. I'm sure it was a major project. Please forgive us for always wanting more. I hope you haven't minded the tone of some of the feedback here. I am really impressed with the improvements.
With all the complaints on the board over the past day, I''m almost embarrassed to request what I think would be a helpful improvement on the new temple page.
The new filters are great! However, at this time, we can only sort by one of the following items at a time:
Which is perfectly fine with one exception. I can't think of a reason to have more than one sort at a time except for one thing. If I am going to the temple to do initiatory, for example, and my wife can't come along this time and I want to make sure I am doing the ordinances that will be expiring first, I cannot, as far as I have been able to find, sort on both sex and expiration date.
Could you please separate out sex as a separate filter to simplify finding the cards I would want to print? Like this:
I would have the behavior be the same as with the ordinance section where the initial setting is to have both selected and to have to click off the type one did not want to show. Also, the buttons for sex would probably fit well under the View options rather than being in a separate category.
But that could confuse the meaning of the "All" button, so I would probably have female and male in their own section.

Jordi Kloosterboer said: Yes in the previous version you could ctrl or shift click (can't remember which) to choose order of sorting of up to 2 different types. You could do the same with this and put a number to let the user know which sort order comes first. I agree, also that sex should be a filter instead of a sort. So I am suggesting two features. One to filter by sex, and two to sort by up to 2 different types. One common thing I do is to sort by date expires and last name so I can do certain families together in the order of when the ordinances expire.0

Tom Huber said: The previous system could let you use shift-click to select up to all four columns in any order. Once I became used to the arrangement, it was easy to use. I miss the ability to select multiple filters/sorting options and hope that the new interface will offer that in the near future. This suggestion by Gordon does go a ways to get back to those options.0
