Order By Options - enhancement

I like the feature, which allows to copy column name from the Order By Options. I use it often. In prior versions you could mark the name of the columns and use ctrl+C to copy. in 24 there is an icon, making the feature visible and nicer to use. Love it.

But if I click the heading of a lob column, I only get the message "You can't sort by CLOB or BLOB columns". That's right.

Could you consider showing the same box, with the same copy-icon, and replace the "New Order By:" section with the same message?

Hi Abraham,

I guess we can modify the "order by" dialog to allow copy/paste, and still tell you that you can't order by it, but I've always thought that Toad could make it easier to copy column names.

One thing you can do now is click the column selector widget, then click on the column name(s) you want, then CTRL+C.

That's not so intuitive either. I think we need a "copy column names" right-click item in the grid.
