Abstract:
1. A computer-controlled method of presenting a user interface comprising: using a processor, organizing plural items into multiple pages; using the processor, providing a paging mechanism to receive user input for selection between said multiple pages for display; using the processor in response to the selection, displaying at least one of said multiple pages; using the processor, accepting input from the user to invoke a sorting function to sort items on the currently-displayed at least one page based on a user-specified sorting criterion; and in response to invocation of the sorting function, using the processor to automatically globally sort the plural items organized into multiple pages into a different order across ones of the multiple pages not currently displayed without requiring display thereof so that when the user invokes sorting, the processor automatically globally applies the same sorting criteria to items on displayed and non-displayed pages to provide a consistent order of items across displayed and non-displayed pages.
