Some more fields in random order

• Mandatory: I have tested the latest development version from http://builds.jabref.org/main and the problem persists

I have found some other drop down menus where fields are not sorted (like in issue #7710):

• List of fields (i.e. exact same list as issue Cleanup action: some fields in random order #7710):

  • Menu Library -> Library properties, in section Save sort order: Primary, secondary and tertiary sort criteria.
  • Menu Options -> Preferences, in tab File, section Export sort order: Primary, secondary and tertiary sort criteria.
  • Menu Options -> Preferences, in tab XMP metadata: drop-down list of the column Field name.

• List of actions:

  • Menu Library -> Library properties, in section Save actions, drop-down list of the column Formatter name.
  • Menu Quality -> Cleanup actions, in section Enable field formatters, drop-down list of the column Formatter name.

• Menu Library -> New entry..., drop-down list of ID type.

• Menu Options -> Preferences, in tab General, drop-down list of Language.

Ping @dateri, maybe?

[dateri]

Yeah, I think they need be also sorted. I'll fix them soon.

I think for new entry the ID list should be ordered by things that are used the most first. Doi should be on top.

Same applies to formatter.

[dateri]

@Siedlerchr maybe sort them by displayName is enough cause the number of types of formatter and ID list are not so large as the number of fields？And i have no idea about how to store the number of times they use (add a database?).

[Siedlerchr]

I took a look and actually the ID Fetcher list is already sorted by their localized Name
public static SortedSet getIdBasedFetchers(ImportFormatPreferences importFormatPreferences) {

[mlep]

@Siedlerchr ID fetchers were mostly sorted (mEDRA is not)

@dateri Thank you for tackling this issue. I wish you will find some other interesting issues to solve in JabRef!
