Sort and search within tags

[uGeek]

Description Grouping by tags is a fantastic idea! but... At the usability level, if there are many applications on a label, they appear in alphabetical order, this makes it more tedious to search for it and stops being practical for me.

Solution I think it would be interesting to show them in alphabetical order like now or in order of the most used applications.

Once inside the tag, you can filter by name. The search will only be performed within the applications that have that tag

Or something more complex, anchor applications that appear at the bottom, such as the favorite applications with that tag

Alternative solutions In the configuration menu you could choose this option.

Additional context Thank you very much for this great application. with TB I really feel productive using a Launcher on Android

if there are many applications on a label, they appear in alphabetical order, this makes it more tedious to search for it and stops being practical for me.

Search using more words, each word will match either a tag or the name and only entries that match all words will be listed.

Once inside the tag, you can filter by name.

Something similar is already available. You can search for multiple words (separated by space) There is no visible clue for the user to see one is "inside" a tag, that is why PR #254 was implemented.

Or something more complex, anchor applications that appear at the bottom, such as the favorite applications with that tag

I don't understand this. Maybe you are referring to the "Dock"? Multiple rows and pages for the dock have been added in release v6.15-dev.1

Sorry, I haven't explained myself well.

In the dock I have put a tag, let's imagine that in that tag there are 20 favorite contacts, TB will sort them in alphabetical order when I click on the tag icon.

I would like that when I click on that tag, it would appear at the bottom, not the Contact that begins with the letter Z, but the contact that called the most often.

I know that TB filters perfectly by name, tag,... That is the great potential of TB, but it filters at a general level. What I am saying is that once I have clicked on the tag icon, if I write letters, filter now between those 20 contacts, not all the content in general.

If I can't filter within the tags, as you explained, I'll do searches in general and in my case, filtering by tag has no advantage.

The anchor thing, I meant that my favorite contacts leave them anchored at the bottom of the list within tag category

I have put the contact tag example, but I use it with applications, shortcuts,...

I take this opportunity to congratulate you for the new update of pages in the dock, it is a great success

@uGeek I believe you and I have our launchers set up similarly and are running up against the same issue. I use tags as folders on the dock and them only sorting a↓z seems like a missed opportunity. I would at least like to see the ability to sort z↓a as that already exists as a full app list sort option.

I made a rough mockup of what I've envisioned from your description overtop my current setup. Hopefully it help makes sense to others that don't use TB this way (assuming this is actually how you use it uGeek 😅)

In the dock I have put a tag, let's imagine that in that tag there are 20 favorite contacts, TB will sort them in alphabetical order when I click on the tag icon.

My example is the red circle, my 'system' tag on the dock.

I think it would be interesting to show them in alphabetical order like now or in order of the most used applications.

Same ordering operation as the existing dock app-sort 'Most accessed', just confined to a tag opened from the dock.

Or something more complex, anchor applications that appear at the bottom, such as the favorite applications with that tag

The 'favorite/anchor/pin' is interesting, though I think its purpose may already be basically fulfilled by pinning an app directly to the dock. No reason it couldn't exist in tandem though.

Ok, I'll start to work on this; got an idea on how to implement this from an UI perspective.
