Media File Sorting & Delete Confirmation Popup

Hello Kobo Team,

I would like to request two enhancements for form media file management in KoboToolbox.

1. Sorting Media Files
Currently, when uploading multiple media files (e.g., CSV, images, audio) for a Kobo form, the files appear without a way to control their order. This makes maintenance difficult when there are many files.

Proposed Feature:

  • Add an option to sort media files in the Media section.
  • Sorting options:
    • Ascending (A–Z / oldest to newest)
    • Descending (Z–A / newest to oldest)

Benefits:

  • Easier to find specific files in large lists.
  • Improves organization and reduces risk of mistakes.

2. Delete Confirmation Popup
Currently, clicking delete removes a file immediately without a clear warning about which file is being deleted.

Proposed Feature:

  • Show a confirmation popup when deleting a media file.
  • Popup text example:
    “Are you sure you want to delete <file_name>?”
  • This would prevent accidental deletions and ensure the correct file is being removed.

Thank you for considering these suggestions!
