[MEX] M4 - Highest rank statement should be on top
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

As a user, i expect the ranks of values in statements to be reflected in the order they appear inside of a statement*
To be discussed if we apply to desktop or not.

Currently, inside of a statement group, the values in the statement are organized by creation date, being that the latest created is at the bottom of the statement group. Users expect the highest ranks to be highlighted - we are currently working on aligning with desktop and having them green - and expect the ranks given to values to be reflected in the order values appear within a statement, meaning that preferred ranks should be on top of the statement group, and deprecated ranks at the bottom, leaving normal ranks in the middle.

AC

  • Preferred ranks show on top of the statement
  • Deprecated ranks show on the bottom of the statement
  • Normal ranks stay at the middle
  • Base order remains creation date, meaning that: If there are multiple values with the same rank, these will be organized by creation date between them. Examples:
    • If there are 3 deprecated ranked values, the first one will be the first deprecated value created, the last one the last one created. Above the deprecated rank group, will be the normal ranks, also organized by date of creation between themselves.
    • If all values have the same rank, they are solely organized by creation date.

Event Timeline

This is bit more complex than just that. See T173432. And we definitely should not have this behavior differ between mobile and desktop view.

There is also T87327: [Story] Group statements within statement group by ranks.

And we definitely should not have this behavior differ between mobile and desktop view.

If we expect the new wbui to eventually replace current desktop UI, then it is not a problem.

We do want to get to that place. They still must not have different behavior here.

Hi @Lydia_Pintscher, i do understand your concern! what we discussed was to get the ticket ready and then talk to the team about if we do desktop now or in the next iteration.
On mobile though, this issue is more acute: because of limited space you don't see all the statements at once, meaning that it could be that you have to scroll a lot to actually see the highest ranked values. This was mentioned multiple times in the user tests!

nevertheless, let me flag this to @Arian_Bozorg before i add it to the backlog.
