A right click command to have the clips sort by, if not all, at least a handful of criteria

You have that in List view.  If you want to call Hover Scrub only half-implemented, it's not because you can't sort in Icon view, it's because Hover Scrub isn't available in List view.

have them remain in the same order that they appear in the sorted List view?

The problem there is that if you manually sort them storyboard fashion, which is what Icon view is designed for, you lose your sorting if you ever leave Icon view.  Now if you want to say that Icon keeps the same sorting as List the first time you enter Icon mode, that'd work.

I find it very aggravating that you can't control the order of the clips in Hover view

But you can.  You put them in whatever order you want, which is what this view is designed for.

I'm supposed to rearrange all of them in the order I want

You're not supposed to.  You're able to.  Manual arrangement of the clips is what Icon view is for.  If you want to sort them automatically, use List view.

If you want Hover Scrub in List view, tell Adobe.

Sebasvideo,

I've had to delete profanity out of several of your posts.  Keep your language family-friendly, please.

Also, understand that product cycles are now shorter to allow Adobe faster reaction time to changes in real world trends.

Yep, that's why feature requests are so important these days. We now can react in a more timely manner for important requests, but you do still have to make them.

Hover scrub in list view would be fine, but list view can't go up in size as much as icon view.

Granted, that would be the other side of the 'feature' coin.  Both Hover Scrub and more scaleable previews need to be implemented for List mode.

So I would have preferred a little more decency and for the Adobe Premiere team manager to say, we're not going to include this incomplete feature in CS6, we're going to get it right and include it in 6.5 or 7, in a way that people actually can take advantage of, because this is supposed to be a professional NLE, not a toy.

Hi,

I think what you meant to say is that you wish the team would have implemented sorting features before they added hover scrubbing. Hover scrubbing is a separate feature than Icon View, which has been in the product without sorting capability for years.

I agree with you that sorting capability should have been added to icon view long ago, but that's no reason to hold back a cool feature like hover scrubbing to the UI.

The other thing is that we as editors do not know what goes on behind the scenes during software development. There are a number of reasons why hover scrubbing made it into the interface before sort capability.

• Hover scrubbing might have been developed by another group, and key features important to Premiere Pro users were not yet added.
• There was not enough time to implement the feature, and other features took precedence.
• Implementing the feature broke 5 other things when it was added to the existing code.
• Implementing the feature causes the application to crash more frequently.
• Other reasons that are privy to software developers.

Not saying that any of these things happened, but we cannot know. Honestly, there's not much more we can do as users can do but to request what we want, and how we want those things to work.
