Description: The order of tabs (whats on top, what is at the bottom) in the vertical tab in the image dialog is bit strange Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Writer 2. Insert some image 3. Open the image properties dialog Actual Results: The tabs are organized arbitrary from my perspective Expected Results: I would list the tab entry's the more commonly used to less commonly used. Or from general to specific tools. Sure there is the aspect of taste. Although some tabs belong together. So Area followed by Transparency| Crop followed by rotation (or other around) A proposal 1. Position and size 2. Borders 3. Wrap 4. Area 5. Transparency 6. Crop 7. Rotation 8. Hyperlink 9.

Didn't change the order but open for improvements. Many of these dialogs have similar options such as Font, Font Effects, Indent, Position & Size, etc. and we should define the sequence for not just one dialog. What comes in mind similar to image properties is objects, frames, and sections.

True. How do you want to approach this? A bug report each and ever dialog? Or some overall bug report? Or discuss the sequence in a UX session for various dialogs. Apply the result, and eventually tweak sequence based on bugreport/enhancement requests as needed?
Let's see if there is really a problem first.

Few other examples Character dialog - fine Paragraph dialog -> not OK (I would start with Alignment; Indent and spacings tab should be in proximity of Tabs tab) Page style dialog -> after 'page' tab should follow the column tab, imho. No strong opinion about the other items Paragrap style dialog -> not OK. The sequence should also be somewhat similar to the paragraph dialog My logic is for general setting to more specific. And from more commonly used to more 'exotic'. And ideally so easy to recognize patterns. So area tab is always followed by transparency tab if applicable. And similar type of dialog should have similar sequence I admit there quite a number of tabs in certain dialog which I tend to put at a arbitrary position --- Other approach would be to set a default and being able to customize the sequence; but feels like over-designing
Heiko, +1 from me, in the case you analyze this in design meeting. Maybe even a survey for the order.
