ABSTRACT:
A method of displaying a large number of interdependent data elements in a computer screen area that is small compared with the number of data elements to be displayed is disclosed. Each data element is defined by a data element type and a data element value and has an associated status value. The method comprises the steps of displaying the data element types of the data elements as a scrollable list in the computer screen area, and, for each data element type which defines more than one different data element which has a predetermined status value, displaying a predetermined indication thereof in association with the data element type in the scrollable list; and sorting, in response to a change of the status value of at least one of the data elements, the data element types in the scrollable list according to the status values of the data elements defined by the data element types. An article of manufacture including a computer-readable medium having stored thereon a computer program for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
