While fixing T236891: AdvancedSearch does not offer nor describe “incoming_links_desc” sort and T239030: Search sort by create_timestamp_asc not recognised we wrote more messages for sorting orders, in addition to the ones originally introduced via T197525: Let users sort results by time (older or newer results).
| Key | Short preview | Option in dropdown |
|---|---|---|
| relevance | Sorted by relevance | Relevance |
| last_edit_desc | Sorted by edit date | Edit date – current on top |
| last_edit_asc | Sorted by least recently edited | Edit date – oldest on top |
| create_timestamp_desc | Sorted by creation date | Creation date – current on top |
| create_timestamp_asc | Sorted by least recently created | Creation date – oldest on top |
Issues:
- Esp. the two …asc messages don't match in the preview and the dropdown.
- It's not easy to see the difference between desc/asc.
- They feel a little long and convoluted.
The task is to clean these up, i.e. make them more consistent and easier to understand.
