Christian Carlow commented on OFBIZ-6419:
-----------------------------------------
OFBIZ-6428 will add the sort enhancements to this issue. The plan is to implement some way to identify that a form is intended to be used for finding records and then allow the extra reporting options to appear next to fields like ignoreCase does.
This would allow for the same form and query to be used rather than creating a separate form for every little difference which I often feel is too redundant and becomes more difficult to manage.
My next train of thought is to find a way to define defaults for the new find options so they can be automatically selected. This could lead the way for end users to create and save their own custom reports as well but that part would likely need to be driven by the database.

> This is a container issue for future issues that work toward enhancing the form widget find functionality as a more generic reporting tool.
> Controls similar to ignore case should be added to find fields to allow end users to for example: hide result fields, sort by multiple fields, group/summarize by fields and choose grouping color
> Most of this functionality is meant to allow a single form and entity query to handle multiple reports that use the same data but hide, sort, and group/summarize fields differently.
