Survey on UI behaviour: Top100
#1
Hi all,

while working on bugfixes for sorting by playcount for music album genre view I came around an issue in the "Top100 Albums" and "Top100 Songs" view.

Current behaviour:
If one of the Top100 filters is entered, the resulting list is sorted by playcount, always descending. This is correct as the most played items are on top. Inconsistency comes when selecting to sort this by playcount again. This normally changes the sort order, but not in this case. The list stays the same (most played songs on top), but the sort-button now indicates ascending order.

Idea:
In the Top100 list sorting works as for all other menus, you can change the sort order. It becomes possibly confusing when changing the sort order to ascending. In this case the least often played song of the Top100 is shown. And this can only be recognized from the sort-button indicator as the list itself does neither shows the playcount for each item nor have sections.

Other option:
Another option is to display "Top 100" instead of "Playcount" in the sort menu and keep the behaviour like it is. The sort-button still behaves inconsistent in this case (possibly indicating ascending order, even though the list is always shown in descending). At least the sort-option is called "Top 100 Albums" or "Top 100 Songs" which implies showing the most played items on top.

What are your thoughts?
