Beta report - sort order of drop downs not obvious

tunetheweb opened this issue · comments

For example:

Categories drop down

Same for:

  • Country
  • Rank (this one might be tricker as you'd ideally want them in size order but that doesn't match the label)

At the moment they are sorted by popularity but that is not obvious to the user, and probably alphabetical makes more sense anyway.

Since we're aiming for feature parity, and there is no existing category dropdown to align with, sorting A-Z SGTM. However, I don't think we should change the sort order of the technologies or geos list, which are currently weighted by number of origins:

If necessary, we could include the number of origins to make it more obvious, like in the geo dropdown.

Never even noticed they we're in alphabetical order on the old report!

I think num origins would definitely make it clearer why in that order.
