Alphabetically sort the "Where" dropdown on the segment creation screen

It would be fantastic if the 100+ values available in the dropdown list when setting segment criteria were actually sorted alphabetically rather than being pseudo-sorted alphabetically (several lists, one after the other, each sorted alphabetically). Or, at the very least, enable filtering (like is available for report suite selection and report searching). Either would be fine, but needing to scroll through the list to find an "S...." value because "the S's" show up in multiple spots in the sequence, seems a little silly.

I want to make sure I'm seeing what you're seeing. I see three "sub-lists."

 

The individual variables/dimensions/reports

Custom Conversion N [instance of eVarN]

Total [metric[

 

Is that what you're seeing? Do you see any other sub-lists?

Well...almost. Here's the list I'm seeing for one client. The Totals, as I read it, are interspersed with the Custom Conversion N.

 

Of course, this raises another issue (idea?) -- the fact that the user needs to "learn the lists" and find the "right list" is odd. If I need to select the container type, why wouldn't I need to select the "type of 'Where'"? I mean, a dropdown list of this length is just unwieldy.

Um. . . yeah. When you copy and paste it like that, it really hammers the point home. We're aware of the need for better segment management, and this helps clarify another element that we should consider. We'll keep watching for votes and comments, as well. Thanks Tim!

The SC left-hand menu is doing a decent job in sorting the reports. It even allows for customization to group by different dimensions than s.prop/eVar/Mobile.

And it is a structure users are already familiar with when they start segmenting (hopefully).

 

Totals would need a copy of the "Site Metrics" folder.

 

"Instances of ..." ... hm ... don't know.

 

so long
