Simple Problem

2013-10-14

Let’s say you have have only six resources, which are simple files. I’ll use these images:

The files are simply named, there are only three shapes, and there only three colors. But imagine these are stand-ins for real resources that really could benefit from multiple sorting.

I want to sometimes see the resources by foreground color, sometimes by background color, and sometimes by shape. Here they are sorted by hand:

Using existing tools, how could you switch back and forth between these three different views of the same six files?
