Agaric Question of the Day: Why Does Sticky Need a Descending Sort in Views?

Submitted by Benjamin Melançon on January 7, 2008 - 8:15pm

If things are ordered first by what's listed first in sort order, why should Views care whether Sticky is ascending or descending?

And if it does care, why can't it have a sensible default?

Yes, I looked silly in front of a client because I didn't read the not-so-fine print:

Node: Sticky

Sort by whether or not the node is sticky. Choose descending to put sticky nodes at the top.
