| Currently you can sort a Wanted List by 'Have Qty' and 'Want Qty'.
However when looking to complete a wanted list what I really care about is how
many parts I still need, or in other words the 'Want Qty' minus the 'Have
Qty'.
I would like to suggest adding a new sorting option 'Need Qty', which
would simply sort the list by the difference between Want and Have.
For example, given the following 3 parts:
- Part1 [Want 4, Have 2] Need = 4-2 = 2
- Part2 [Want 6, Have 5] Need = 6-5 = 1
- Part3 [Want 2, Have 4] Need = 2-4 = -2
As far as I can tell there is no way to currently sort these parts in this order;
By the number of parts that still need to be acquired to complete the list.
I find both 'Have' and 'Want' to not be very useful when sorting,
as it's the difference between the two that actually matters for a wanted
list.
So I would like to suggest adding the ability to sort by this metric. While I
refer to it as 'Need Qty' here, any name could be used that conveys the
intent sufficiently.
I am aware of the 'Hide Items if Have Qty is ≥ Want Qty' Filter option,
and it is very useful. I still believe that even with this enabled that it would
be useful to be able to sort by the remaining delta of these two values.
