Update the order links to change only their order and leaving the rest of the arguments unchanged about gae-init

[lipis]

Would be nice if someone could make a review on this one..

I even have the docs for the newly created (and updated) functions:

http://docs.gae-init.appspot.com/reference/#util.update_query_argument
http://docs.gae-init.appspot.com/reference/#utils.order_by_link
http://docs.gae-init.appspot.com/reference/#utils.filter_by_link

You can test the latest and greatest filters & orders live (filter links work also as toggles):
http://gae-init.appspot.com/user/?active=True&admin=False&limit=16&order=-modified

Where you will notice that changing the filters or the orders will not affect the other stuff as it used to be in the old version (http://0-11-0.gae-init.appspot.com/user/)

I like it; and from what I see it also allows someone to bookmark a particular view.

I'm not 100% sure about the UX... I can work with it, but can I explain it to Joe Doe easily? Nevertheless, unless I (or someone else) can provide an even better approach, this works fine.

Yeah the UI is tricky.. I didn't really like the drop-downs either but they way easier to explain because you could write more stuff there.. icons are tricky.. but on the other hand it's not that hard to get it..

The important thing is that when set is filtered (however you managed to do it) if you change the order without reseting the filters.. (of course you have to have these indexes, but it works)

Also if you click on the filter that is checked it will simply remove it :)

i also like how it shortens down coding something like that, but i don't really like the facebook thumbs up/down for boolean values... somehow confused me at first... isn't what one would expect here a checkbox / toggle button?

[lipis]

It's a 3 state thingy so toggle or a checkbox is also not really an option.. and the most sane solution would be a drop down or radio buttons for the boolean values.. (True, False, None)
Here is how it was before with the drop down.. http://0-11-0.gae-init.appspot.com/user/

(The icons could be easily changed if it's only the icon problem.. to something like check and times.. fa-check and fa-times maybe..)

Or use a label and combo box (with active value shown) approach, like "Limit:" + "64" (and other values to select from in combo); "Category:" + "All" (w/combo: "All", "Users", "Administrators"); and "Status:" + "All" (w/combo: "All", "Active", "Inactive")... who cares they are implemented as booleans?

Side note: actually the 64 box isn't set to active for Limit in current implementation...

The "More" popping up when there are selected users could be "Action:" + whatever is allowed; or individual buttons for the actions that are possible,

[lipis]

The More drop down thingy I got it as an idea from Gmail when they are appearing more stuff when selecting emails or contacts.. and this approach could scale better if in the future you want to add more actions that could happen on your user base.. changing it or not though could be discussed in another issue.. as this is is completely different topic :)

Sure enough, just noticed it when testing current stuff.
