[Geoserver-devel] Default title and type sorting

Hi,
I was about to handle http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1105 (an easy and relaxing issue to fix I thought), that is, the problem feature types
are not sorted in the capabilities.

Hum, in fact they are not, and the three clients I tried, uDig, QGis and
Gaia, all report the feature types titles as they appear in the capabilities document.

I can easily sort on the title, all right, but the default title imho
is not so good. What if someone used namespaces to partition their data?
We did so in our sample data.

Wouldn't it be better if the default, out of the box title was equal to
namespace:typeName, instead of just then name followed by _Type?

Cheers
Andrea

I like that a lot. The _Type thing always bugged me a bit.
