Techniques described herein allow user sort data objects in a user interface. The user is able to sort the data objects by throwing them in the user interface. For example, a user imports a collection of data objects into a user interface. The data objects are then displayed graphically in the user interface. The user sorts the data objects by selecting them with an input device and throwing them toward a separate location on screen. The location on screen where the user throws the data objects is called a bucket. A bucket captures data objects thrown in its direction. Once, the data objects have been sorted, the user can use controls to refine the way the data objects are sorted. For example, the user can sort data objects within a bucket, modify the data objects, add additional buckets to the user interface, and perform other similar functions. |
