Could you please add "sorting related" or "changing the order of related" function?

I think it's so convenient for users. :)

    please explain what you actually mean those functions to do and how/in what type of situations they would be helpful.

    For example.
    For one node, there are 25 related objects: (in the Related Tag Page, listed below)

    I want to sort the 25 objects by name.

    Then I can get more information or the evolution of these related objects directly. Or I can find a specific object from objects easily. Thank you.

    First of all, improved UI for the related pane is something that Frank Bennett has been working on, and the related UI is much more informative in the multilingual experimental builds of Zotero that he has been working on: http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/zotero-multilingual-overview.html

    But it also looks like you've been adding attachments as related items. I'd recommend you make a habit of adding regular Zotero items, like Book, Journal Article, and other item types, rather than their child attachments, as related items. If you do so, then Zotero will provide better info on them, and Frank's patch will provide a nice interface for working with them.
