They all jump around, so much, and I just literally spent an entire day manually testing filter controls on one form. I'm confident that it works, and works well, but there's so little appreciation on here for that sort of testing.
I actually found four issues, while recording the video, but I don't think anyone else noticed.
1. "Unknown" author is actually a "blank" author field, and should remain at the bottom of the list, regardless of the direction of the sort. As someone sorting alphabetically is looking for names, and will expect "A" or "Z" at the beginning.
2. Empty or deleted lists should be removed from the drop-downs. Some of the lists in the drop-downs are just clutter because some clients issue lists, automatically. And they don't normalize the d-tags and/or titles, so I have a "Bookmark" and a "bookmark" list, but only one has content, and the one doesn't replace the other, on some relays.
3. Tags should be split into two groups, with Most Popular 20, at the top, followed by a horizontal line. With number counts next to each one, and both groups sorted alphabetically.
4. Drop-downs shouldn't become longer and longer. They should have a fixed height and a scroll bar.
It's totally bothering me, that this all isn't precisely right. 😂
This is why I will never be cool. In the time, where I fiddled with these controls, other devs have jetted to a conference, vibe-coded another app, and pocketed more Bitcoin than I will ever own.
