I know the feature is brand new to the site, and so am I. Smiling Everyone has been very helpful teaching us newbies all about it. While using the swap system I had some thoughts and I hope this is an ok place for ideas and suggestions, and not out of line.

I think having sorting options for the main swap list would be very helpful. I know someone had already mentioned being able to choose between sorting on common or scientific name, which would be great. If that is not possible perhaps just sorting on scientific name like the plant lists are, for the simple reason that it will keep like items together. Things without scientific names that are not linked to the database could just be at the top.

I also think it would be helpful to be able to sort based on when the item was added as well. Presumably each entry already has a time stamp since it is used in the events list. Or maybe even just have the plant names in the events list link to the plant database like they do in the swap list. Either way would make it easier to find out more about new additions to the swap.

I'm really enjoying all that is available on the site so far, it's some pretty cool stuff. Hurray!
