# Shot Table Sort Icons - Implementation Test

# Shot Table Sort Icons - Implementation Complete

## ✅ Implementation Summary

Successfully added sort direction icons to all sortable columns in the shot data table headers, following the same pattern used in the task table for consistency.

### Changes Made:

- Added ArrowUpDown import from lucide-vue-next
- Updated all sortable column headers to use Button component with sort functionality
- Added consistent sort icons to all sortable columns
- Maintained existing functionality while adding visual sort indicators

## 🔧 Technical Implementation

### Updated Columns with Sort Icons:

- Shot Name - Primary identifier column
- Episode - Episode grouping column
- Frame Range - Frame start/end range
- Frames - Frame count column
- Status - Shot status column
- Description - Shot description column
- Task Status Columns - Dynamic task type columns (already had sorting enabled)

### Header Implementation Pattern:

header: ({ column }) => { return h( Button, { variant: 'ghost', onClick: () => column.toggleSorting(column.getIsSorted() === 'asc'), }, () => ['Column Name', h(ArrowUpDown, { class: 'ml-2 h-4 w-4' })] ) }

## 🎨 Visual Improvements

- Consistent Icons: All sortable columns now show ArrowUpDown icon
- Interactive Headers: Headers are clickable buttons with hover effects
- Visual Feedback: Clear indication of which columns are sortable
- Unified Design: Matches the task table design pattern

## 🔄 Sorting Behavior

1. First Click: Sorts ascending (A-Z, 1-9, oldest-newest)
2. Second Click: Sorts descending (Z-A, 9-1, newest-oldest)
3. Third Click: Removes sorting (returns to default order)

### Column-Specific Sorting:

- Shot Name: Alphabetical sorting
- Episode: Sorts by episode ID
- Frame Range: Sorts by frame_start value
- Frames: Sorts by frame count (calculated from frame_end)
- Status: Sorts by status enum values
- Description: Alphabetical sorting (null values handled)

## 🛡️ Consistency with Task Table

The implementation follows the exact same pattern as the task table:

- Same ArrowUpDown icon from lucide-vue-next
- Same Button component with ghost variant
- Same click handler pattern for toggling sort
- Same icon positioning (ml-2 h-4 w-4 classes)

## 📋 Testing Checklist

- ✅ ArrowUpDown icon imported from lucide-vue-next
- ✅ All sortable columns updated with Button headers
- ✅ Sort functionality preserved for all columns
- ✅ Icons positioned consistently (ml-2 spacing)
- ✅ No TypeScript compilation errors
- ✅ Maintains existing cell rendering logic
- ✅ Task status columns retain their existing sort behavior

## 🎯 Expected User Experience

Before: Users couldn't easily identify which columns were sortable

After: Clear visual indicators show all sortable columns with consistent icons

Benefits:

- Improved discoverability of sorting functionality
- Consistent user interface across task and shot tables
- Better visual hierarchy in table headers
- Enhanced usability for data organization

## 🔍 Manual Testing Steps

1. Navigate to the shots page in table view
2. Verify all column headers show the ArrowUpDown icon
3. Click on different column headers to test sorting
4. Verify sort direction changes with multiple clicks
5. Check that task status columns still sort correctly
6. Confirm visual consistency with task table headers

## 🚀 Non-Sortable Columns

The following columns intentionally do not have sort icons:

- Select: Checkbox column for row selection
- Thumbnail: Visual preview column
- Actions: Dropdown menu column

These columns have `enableSorting: false` set in their column definitions.

✅ Shot Table Sort Icons Implementation Complete!

The shot data table now provides clear visual indicators for all sortable columns, improving user experience and maintaining consistency with the task table design.
