Bug? Alphabetization of nested groups

Spark Spark Dev
1

The root level groups are alphabetized but nested groups are not. Has anyone else encountered this?

I see this behavior in 2.5.8 and in 2.6.0 RC2. This should be a really minor fix for the full release.

Example:

  • As configured in Openfire 3.7.0:

    • IT
      • IT::America
      • IT::Europe
    • Purchasing
      • Purchasing::America
      • Purchasing::Asia
      • Purchasing::Europe

  • As presented to the user in Spark 3.6.0 RC2 is random ordering

    • IT
      • Asia
      • Europe
      • America
    • Purchasing
      • Europe
      • America
      • Asia

Well, helps to make use of the search button:

Does the comment 2.6.1–>2.7.0 indicate this bug’s resolution has been postponed?

Actually the groups/roster managment code is neither simple nor easy to understand. We were seriously considering to re-write it completely, but decided against it for complexity reasons.

1095 will be reviewed, if there is a simple fix.
