<p>A common element of graphical user interfaces is a list from which an item can be chosen by the user. The user is often offered the option to re-arrange the items or entries in such a list. This re-arranging is tedious and time consuming if items are moved one by one in large lists. Moreover in cases where such lists are stored in non-volatile memory, like EEPROM or FLASH memory, the content would have to be written after every single item is shifted. This could unduly reduce the lifetime of such a non-volatile memory. It is the object of the present invention to provide a simplified and more user-friendly way for sorting entries in a list of a graphical user interface. This object is achieved by a method which comprises the steps of displaying at least a part of the list (S11), selecting items out of the list and pasting the selected items into a second list in a defined order (S12), selecting a position in the first list, where the second list is to be inserted (S13), and inserting the items from the second list into the first list in their order in the second list, starting with the first item of the second list at the user-selected position of the first list (S14).</p> |
