[REQ] Ability to sort by provided property

[stramel]

Current implementation sorts by parentId, nodeId. It has been requested that the tree be able to be organized by other properties such as names A-Z

It's a tree, it will always be a parent -> child relationship, is this a request to add sorting of nodes?

[stramel]

Yes, so tree structure obviously by parentId, nodeId but then within a branch the leaves are sorted by the nodeId. The request is to be able to sort them by other properties such as the label A-Z

[admwx7]

Right now it's actually not explicitly sorted in anyway, whatever order it's provided in is the order it's displayed in. We can add sorting support, but it's a bit tricky since we'll have to do it in the JS instead of just using the sort functionality built into iron-list, since once it hits the iron-list it's flattened and we need the parent node to still be above the children nodes.
