groups |plugin |sort | post by tsuomela on 2008-06-09

I'm trying to find a way to sort the list of groups to share bookmarks with. As a default it appears to be sorting them by the date I joined the group. But now that I've joined 30+ groups it's hard to find the right one quickly.

I'd rather have them sorted alphabetically.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi Todd,

I too am seeking a way to sort my Groups and my Lists alphabetically.

Unfortunately, I have not found a way to do this and this GREATLY LIMITS the utility of Groups and Lists...trying to find something in an unordered list is a PITA.

Todd, you are not alone. If you have found a solution please let me know.

Rearranging of bookmarks order under "My Bookmarks"

Sat, 12 May 2007 02:29:21 -0000

bookmark |feature |sort | post by iplnts on 2007-05-12

Hi!

I'm questioning whether is there a solution to rearrange arbitrary the bookmark order when i'm at My Bookmark? I see, the bookmark order is yet defined by the cached date only, and i have not found yet a rearranging possibility. (I may be failed of reading the help or forum
perusing concerning this possibility)

It would be a rating system or any else (drag and drop) by which the author can define an individual order for directing the user attention, and also would be a really strong feature!

Thanks for your considering it if it is not yet.

I've been wondering about this as well. It would be nice to have at least a few options besides the default of most recent. Here are my suggestions:

- date (oldest or most recent)
- alphabetical
- rating/popularity

Just a thought...

sort by visits would be most handy for me... so the sites i visit most are at the top.

That goes for the toolbar list as well..

Hi soulgrind!

Your suggestion is good and welcome. I never guessed and i will use quite surely, thanks for the idea.
But, i thought a bit stronger uncompelled elegant solution for it. I think, it would be resoluble..( the drag & drop would be the best as it is in the Google NoteBook for example..)

Thanks for all your input.

A new feature is coming shortly in a few weeks - stay tuned...

Hi Maggie!

I shouldn't like to hurry on your stuff...But, the arbitrary draggable arranging of Bookmark order (and the collapsible/expandable Bookmark Expanded view which lists the highlights and attached stickies, and perhaps adding an arbitrary header of highlights) would be so great improvement of usability of your application. This feature is really big in Google NoteBook!!

Thanks for considering if it is possible!

I second sorting by these parameters. Any word on when sorting will make it into diigo?

How to sort bookmarks alphabetical? By title?
post by joel on 2007-09-07
Alpha by either title or URL would be useful, I think.

Even more useful--being able to SEE the URL when browsing my bookmarks! (like Google does it--title, with URL underneath) Sometimes the title is ambiguous, and It's frustrating to have to click 'edit' to see the URL for a page.

Sorting by alpha would be fantastic. I can't find how to do this yet? has it been implemented? thanks!

I agree that alphabetical sorting would be a nice feature.

Sorting/ filtering the forum by author and/or author's last post

Wed, 16 May 2007 03:07:05 -0000

feature |filter |forum |sort | post by iplnts on 2007-05-16

Hi!

Altough the group bookmarks may be filtered by the author, the forum post order can only be filtered by tags or category. In the forum view one can't see for example the joined user only the tags, also in the group bookmarks view one can't see the tags.

suggestion:
+ Could it be both the group bookmarks and forum posts filtered by both tags or category and user/author, too? Putting both the tagcloud and userscloud displayed.
+ Or at least in the forum view the forum topics could it be sorted somehow by user/author?
+ Somehow the Last Posts also filtered or sorted by a choosen author name?

This latter one would be quite impoving to ease following one's review his/her posted new or/and related topics.
For example i'm mainting now to follow my running new and related topics at Diigo in a local text file which is a little miserable to copy and paste topics headers & links....:(

Thanks, for considering

Yes, again, thanks for your many good suggestions and noted.

Groups will be further enhanced with staged releases. Lots on our plate :-)

Regression wrt diigo v1

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 09:14:42 -0000

I noticed two annoying bugs which are actually a regresion with regards to diigo pre v2.

- Diigo does not remember my preferred sort order of tags.
I prefer to sort my tags alphabetically with frequency visualized by size of the font. Unfortunately since the upgrade to v2 it always defaults to "sort by frequency". I click on "alpha". Tags are sorted alphabetically. I click on a tag. Tagged bookmarks are shown, but tags are sorted by frequency - again.
Funny thing - on the forum tags are always sorted alphabetically and I cannot set them to be sorted by frequency by default.

- There is no way to change the url of a bookmark. The only workable solution is to delete a bookmark, and diigo it once again.

I would like to say that this service is great. It makes my life a lot easier.

Cheers,
Konrad

Konrad,

Yes, we will offer preservation of your setting preferences - on our list to further improve our bookmarks / tag area.

We had internal discussion here about whether to allow editing of URL or not. Diigo is unique vs. other bookmarking services out there. Editing itself is not a big deal. However, given our unique ability to mark up a page and those annotations have to be very specific to a particular URL, we have decided not to complicate the situation and thus not offer the URL edit option.

One shouldn't have to edit URL too frequently. If so, just delete and diigo it again will be the best solution. Considering the Pros and Cons, I hope you agree with our decision.

Glad to hear Diigo is serving you well. Please kindly share it with your friends and help us spread the words :-)

I agree with Maggie. Changing the URL is something that doesn't happen too frequently. So, I too think the cons involved with allowing editing URLs overweigh the pros.

I guess what you would like to avoid is having to re-enter the tags and the comments, and you may want to preserve your highlights and sticky notes (if there are any).
For that, I can just give you the tip to copy & paste all important information temporarily into a text editor, and then copy & paste it back into place after having re-created the bookmark with the new URL. Of course, the highlighting would have to be done manually again.
