Training session not sorted on the list to add to the calendar

6974357 6 months ago

On the calendar, when I'm adding a training session to the calendar, the list is unsorted.

Can it be fixed and sorted by name by default in a future version?

Thanks

It's been posted on the forums several times, but not sure if anyone has submitted this request to the Share Ideas site. I just did. As it is now, the workouts are sorted by creation date, with the most recent at the top.

I'm new to Garmin gear (just got me a Forerunner 165 last week) and am overall relatively happy with it so far, but there are some aspects that are really bad.

While I can sort workouts however I want in the web interface, the Garmin Connect app (Android version, but I guess this issue is device independent) lacks any sorting options. The mobile app displays workouts in reverse order of creation, so newest first. I named all of my workouts in a way that alphabetical sorting would be perfect for me, but there is no option to change the sort order anywhere to be seen. The only workaround for this issue I can think of is to delete all workouts and then recreate them in the reverse of the desired display order, that would be very tedious. Please add some basic sort options, they are an essential feature for every type of list display.

A similar issue would be the display order of workouts on the watch itself. Here it isn't even the reverse order of creation, instead it is when the workout has been updated. When I make any tweak to a workout, I need to send it to the device again to update it there. That moves the updated workout to the top of the list, messing up the display order. Again there are no sort options to be seen. The workaround is to delete all workouts from the watch one by one, then send them to the device again in the reverse of the desired display order, very tedious again. I'd rather spend more time working out and less time managing workouts.

So please, add some sort options to workouts, or to any list display in general.
