Variables

1. Add a sort ascending/descending capability to the Sense Overview.

2. Add search capability to the same.

3. Fix the dreadful - click Edit to save - really !? Edit means edit not save.

4. Flag which variables created in script editor were done with SET or LET.

5. Flag which variables are used in the app with a simple Y/N flag icon.

At the very least please fix #3. I still have to remember how it works every time and teaching others. I always get asked "why" qlik did it that way. #1 was used a lot in QV & #2 is needed especially when there are a lot of variable in an app. 4&5 are nice to have's for me.

Great improvement to Variable Editor in Feb 2022 release.
I like the feature to view the Value of Variable easily.

Hopefully, when Sorting is released, we could also sort all the fields (Name, Definition, Value and Tags).
