Current situation or problem:

In many apps across FOLIO a card display is used to enter and show information to users. Independant from the order of creation, the cards are sorted differently each time a user visits a record. 

User story statements:

1. As a user I would expect the cards to sort in a predictable and consistent way. 

2. As a user I need to be able to define the sort order individually when creating the cards, as well as edit and re-arrange the sort order over time easily when additional data is added.

The ability to re-arrange the sort order would be preferable.

Use case(s)

1. Use case:

   • Given an agreement with multiple supplementary documents

   • When I open the agreement and extend the accordion "supplementary documents"

   • The supplementary documents display in a random order

   • I then close the record

   • When I open the agreement and extend the accordion "supplementary documents" again, the suppl. documents display in a different order

   • same applies for the cards displaying organizations, internal contacts

2. Use case:

   • Given a license with multiple supplementary documents

   • When I open the license and extend the accordion "supplementary documents"

   • The supplementary documents display in a random order

   • I then close the record

   • When I open the license and extend the accordion "supplementary documents" again, the suppl. documents display in a different order

   • same applies for the cards displaying core documents, organizations, internal contacts

3. Use case:

   • Given an organization with multiple e-mail addresses as contact information

   • When I edit the organization, I can only re-arrange the sort order of the mail addresses in contact information, when I delete the cards and create new

   • same applies for cards displaying addresses, URLs, phone numbers
