Publisher: Hover over new multipage spreads in sidebar lists different Master Pages in alphabetical order instead of order of pages

[acsr]

Steps to reproduce

• Example threepage fold page visible as miniatures in the left pages sidebar.
• Master B is assigned per drag & drop to the middle page. On hovering on the middle page and also the others, the shared overlay shows up
• The master pages are sorted as list by alphabet, not by order in the fold. The form of display would be even highly counterintuitive when sorted in order of application left to right (guess: there are other r2l languages as well).
  • 
• This behaviour makes it impossible to discover which master page is assigned to a particular page. No other options to make the assigned master page visible "on" the symbol.
• The page settings dialogue does not provide the master page name as per page.

Expected UX

Provide an easy way to see how masterpages are applied per fold single page without digging into dialogues.

Hi @acsr,

What appears to be happening is that the Master Pages in the tooltip are displayed in the order they were applied rather than strictly alphabetically which of course is also unhelpful...

Hi @Hangman, no time to confirm this. Maybe helpful for the developers to dig deeper. The interface should display a mnemonic trailing or preceeding the basename with a separator or from a seperate index input field on top of the iconic page symbol, like you mimick it here.

The solution should cover as well the use case if you want a master page spanning a whole spread… or consisting of a fold of pages. Not that easy to tackle.

While you're waiting for the tooltip to be fixed, don't forget you can apply colour labels to master pages now which will correctly identify which page is which master.

The Tooltip is actually displaying the Master Page order as they appear in the Layers panel from the bottom up which it also does in 2.5.7 and likely has always done but this still makes the tooltip a little nonsensical...
