Thank you :-)

I drew the image with sodipodi one night i was really wanting to do something 
i didn't use to...

My idear was (and is :) to create images representing saving, looks, 
ocnfiguration and other basic concepts in some sort of naive child drawing 
like style.

If I can do so, the idear would be to put an image representing the function 
of the current page on each page in the wizard, something that is suggestedly 
a nice addition to a wizard. They are a hint to the user, + they look nice 
and have a calming effect.

My problem in this matter: I am not really an artist, so I work really slow 
with drawing tools :-\

Well, that would bread the idear of using a wizard: 
	ONLY ONE ACTION/CONCEPT PR PAGE

I think sorting should go on a seperate page, and even the functionality could 
nicely be provided centrally, it may be handled different by different 
styles, for example a table style would probably offer more complex sorting 
options than a card style. Some styles could offer grouping etc.

A nice solution could be to have a sort page, but allow styles to hide/replace 
it.
