Alright, I think you are right. The possible confusion is not worth the benefits. I have switched the ordering back to the classic sorting. I will now look into the dataset selector and see how to revise it. Thanks for pointing these things out.
Thanks, Sam

Hi Sam,
I found the old approach (new repeat blocks at bottom) worked fine when adding blocks one by one and completing them as I went (which means once you have filled in the new block, you have scrolled down to the button ready to add another block if needed).
If find the new approach (new blocks inserted at top) visually confusing as I am used to filling in forms from top to bottom.
I do concede the approach makes it easy to add several repeats with a few clicks, and then fill them in - but personally that isn't a common thing for me to do, and I do not think this change is worth the confusion.
There are a number of other visual changes on galaxy-central compared to the current release, so of which seem harmless like the boolean parameters becoming a yes/no toggle in place of a tick box, others are more daunting/scary (e.g. collection related changes to the file picker for automatic batch jobs).
Is there any draft documentation on these changes being prepared to go into the next release notes? This is the sort of thing local Galaxy Admins would appreciate to anticipate local user queries.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Yes we changed this on purpose, however it is open to discussion. The advantage is that the user does not have to scroll down after adding a
new
repeat block. Additionally it enables users to easily add more than one repeat block quickly, since the insert button does not relocate on the screen after adding new repeat blocks.
Thanks, Sam

Hi all,
I'm running galaxy-central as my development server, and noticed what to me is a regression with repeat parameters,
e.g.
https://github.com/peterjc/pico_galaxy/blob/master/tools/clc_assembly_cell/c...
Read group: [+ insert read group]
- 1: Read Group
- 2: Read Group
which on clicking becomes:
Read group: [+ insert read group]
- 2: Read Group
- 1: Read Group
This to me is upside down, the current behaviour on galaxy-dist is more natural (and also pluralises the group heading):
Read Groups
- Read Group 1
[Add new Read Group]
which on clicking becomes:
Read Groups
- Read Group 1
- Read Group 2
[Add new Read Group]
Is this a deliberate change? If so, why?
Peter
