Tags list display sorting and filters

    • Type: Suggestion
    • Resolution: Fixed

      OS/X 10.7.3; SourceTree standalone 1.3.3

      The left side tags list is sorted incorrectly (compared to Mercurial tags command).

      Consider the following tags list. Sorted as per Mercurial (2.1):
      1.1
      1.2
      1.9
      1.10

      SourceTree sorts the list in alpha-comparison order, making it difficult to find the most significant tag:
      1.1
      1.10
      1.2
      1.9

      SourceTree should be sorting this list in numeric-comparison order, as Mercurial does.

      The second part of this issue is that, when the tag list becomes significantly long (eg: 100+ tags), it will become practically impossible to use the tag list.

      Providing options to:

      • select the sort order (ascending/descending), and
      • limit the list (most recent N tags)
        will make this significantly more usable.
