sportTypesSortingOrder confusion

[lennon101]

I'm opening this as a discussion before I make it a bug because it could just be my lack of understanding, but I'm a little confused about how the sportTypesSortingOrder should work given the nature of the plots. Eg, in the weekly plots we see tabs that include Runs, Rides, Walks etc.

However, in the docs it lists the possible sport types as:

which seems to conflict with the tab names in the first image. So if I want to change the order of the tabs in the weekly stats, do I need to list all the run types? and then all the ride types? Or do I just use the tab names to change the sort order?

A follow up question is: If I just do Run, Ride will TrailRun be grouped under run?

@lennon101 You need to list all the sport types. Just like with any other config option that allows you to list sport types. Based on that list everything in the app will be ordered accordingly. One of the things being the tabs on the dashboard.

do I need to list all the run types? and then all the ride types?

So, yes :)

[lennon101]

Ok cool! So in its current default state, does the tab "Runs" include Trail Runs?

Haha yeah cool. That is what was confusing me. The parent sport types didn't align with what I was seeing on the dashboard. So can you use the parent labels to sort?

[robiningelbrecht]

@lennon101 No, you always need to use sportTypes, for example

Okay cool. So just to clear things up, in the default state, the parent sport types are shown and group all the sport types together. But if you start sorting the sport types, then the parent sport types will disappear and there isn't any way at this stage to group sport types together? And there isn't any way to sort the parents sport types?

Sorry to keep hassling you about this haha

No, the parent sport types will always show. They will show in the order you configured the "normal" sport types. For example, in your config;

 sportTypesSortingOrder: ['Ride', 'MountainBikeRide', 'TrailRun']  

Will set the dashboard tabs (parent sport types) to:

Rides, Runs

 sportTypesSortingOrder: ['TrailRun', 'Ride', 'MountainBikeRide']  

Will set to the dashboard tabs (parent sport types) to:

Runs, Rides
