Re: Fwd: [Bug 11244] Keep order of collections in sync between Hub and Desktop

Hi,

For one thing, since the order of the collections on the Hub is not 
modifiable (AFAIK at least) and is the result of their creation order, I 
see little value in forcing this order to the Desktop user.

Second, the other thing is that it is not uncommon to have on one's 
Desktop is a mixture of Hub, subscribed and local collections. I'll 
venture my own set as a user example here:
- I have 14 collections on my Desktop (well, 16 now that Chandler 
decided to auto restore 2 tests collections I want to keep but would 
prefer not to sync... but that's another issue...)
- 3 of those I published on my Hub account (Perso, Work, 0.7.x Schedule)
- 5 I subscribed to from a variety of accounts/sources (Office Calendar, 
Family, Strategy, Chandler Evangelize, Horan-Bossut)
- 6 are local only (hodge podge of personal and work related things)

How could imposing the order of my 3 hub collections (which BTW, doesn't 
correspond to anything I like) help me in organizing these 14 
collections? I'm puzzled. Note that I have work and personal stuff in 
all 3 categories here above mentioned so sorting by 
"Published/Subscribed/Local" won't help me much either.

What I  really need is a way to reorder the collections in my Desktop 
sidebar the way I want. I also want to reorder collections on the WebUI 
and those 2 order are likely to be unrelated since they don't even cover 
the same set of collections.

Cheers,
- Philippe
