Ordering of "Select a dimension to filter" on Dashboards should be alphabetical
See original GitHub issueDescription
The Select a dimension to filter could be ordered to make finding the wanted dimension on a dashboard easier.
The dimensions and metrics should be ordered by:
- table name - where the table order matches the order in the sidebar (i.e. the primary table comes first, then the joined tables are listed after)
- then alphabetically by field name
e.g. if I had a table users
that was joined to pages
, the fields: Users - user_id
, Pages - page_id
, Users - date
would appear like:
Users - date
, Users - user_id
, Pages - page_id
What problem does this solve?
It is difficult for the end user to get an overview of the filters—especially the date filters, since they are not united.

Yes, still relevant
Maybe alphabetical ordering isn’t the best approach, but it would be nice if there were some logic.
@TuringLovesDeathMetal of cause ordering like in the
table explorer
would be amazing. I just thought that would be a larger task since it might require some changes in the UI 😄So, with this issue I just asked for alphabetic ordering, since that would give 70% of the value 😊
