Sorting problem when sharing a folder in Google drive to Google Sites
Example below: (Click to zoom)
Labels & Permalinks in Google have many advantages
(over File/Folder path based OS structures)
(over File/Folder path based OS structures)
BUT there seems to be a problem when data has to be sorted !
Computers deal with this well and do not care.
We are used to real world file cabinets and alpha sorting
My suggestions to Google:
Put a search box in a shared Google Drive folder (that is public).
Give public users the ability to sort the files/folders (Pull-down menu!)
It is ok to sort data (by default) by last use or modification/date time
BUT without other sort options it is chaos for the human brain.
