My understanding is the the Sorter is used to quickly locate Groups within DT3 to drag-and-drop files. That is also how I’m using it. What I don’t understand is how the Group names are matched.
In my use I typically know at least some of the group’s name. Say I have a group called TestGroup
. I can remember that group has test
in its name followed by a g
for group. In the Sorter I type testg
and find the group quickly.
So far so good. If on the other hand I also have a group called aTestGroup
and follow the same procedure as above I get nothing. It’s only when - with great effort - I remember it starts with atest
that I get the group I’m looking for.
As a user I would very much prefer to recall parts of the group name without it depending on the location of the part within the name.
If I use the DT3 search fields typically I would type in something along the lines of ~test
and get the desired list of groups (+ any files in this case that match the search term).
