Sorting Databases Alphabetically in Datasets Section and Displaying Empty Databases on the List

ui

Original Slack Thread

I notice that while the Platform in Datasets sections are sorted alphabetically, the databases within them are sorted by the number of entities within them. Which I guess might be useful in some cases, but generally I would think people would expect them to also have alphabetical order - it makes finding the database you need much more easier.

Also I have some databases that currently have zero tables within them, and I noticed that they are not displayed in the list on Datasets section on the left - but their schemas are displayed on the main section of the screen, I can click them, they exhist. Can the also please be displayed on the left? I’d expect the full list of databases to be there

Hey Nadia! Wanted you to know that we’ll be doing some investigation into how we can sort containers alphabetically… there might be some complexity/challenges there, but we hear you & we’ll do our best to get this implemented!

<@U0121TRV0FL> fantastic, thank you! do I need to create a FR for this or will you do it internally?

I’m tracking it internally, so no need to create a FR! I have it tentatively slated for mid-Nov, but I’ll need to pull in folks from a couple of different teams so timing might be a challenge given the US holidays… I’ll do my best to get this prioritized!
