Sort by image dimension about geeqie

Do you want the image dimensions displayed in list view? Note that exif dates etc. can be sorted on, but are not displayed.

That would be nice, but gets weird when considering orientations.

For example sorting('1920x1080','1600x900','1080x1920').

I want them sorted by area, I think, though this could be confusing in a list when resolving to dimension and we see '1080' appearing before '1600'.

Both the Search and Duplicates windows have an option to sort results on dimensions.
In both cases it is the product of width and height. I do not see any other way.

In the standard case of landscape-style photos from the same camera setting, that looks ok.
Extremes of portrait and landscape modes confuses things - but what is the user trying to do?

It is possible to sort on width or height, but that just complicates things, and again, what is the user trying to do?

I will probably commit a version that does not show dimensions in a list view column, and wait for further comment.

I hadn't tried the search. The list by dimension view there is just fine.

If we can have the Files pane sort like that it would be great.

I'm happy to test.
