Display options for "Tabs" and "Side Menu" views

Explain the problem as you see it

Sometimes I like to have a search node in Tabs/Side Menu view, so the results are more easily accessed (when I'm more interested in the insides of the result nodes than only the nodes itself).

For instance, this is useful for a "related meetings" live search inside a project supertag. I have each meeting showing up as a button in the side menu, so it's easily clickable to expand.

In these situations, I usually would like to tweak what the menu uses as a Display title (for instance, in these cases, I'd like the date to appear there in the title - I wouldn't want the date to appear next to a meeting everywhere, just in this view).

Why is this a problem for you?

Currently, we have either the option to set a Title Expression for everywhere or to use Display options to customize specific nodes's children appearance - except when the node is in Side Menu/Tabs view. No display option there.

Suggest a solution

Add display options for Side Menu/Tab views.

I would like to expand on this idea a little bit.

Currently, there are no sort options for Side Menu views. I'm not exactly sure what determines the order of the Side Menu options / nodes. It appears to be Created time, but I am not 100% sure.

It would be nice if these could be custom sorted by field values. For example, I have a "Projects" view that lists all of my projects in the "Backlog" status and displays them as a Side Menu.

Currently, there is no way for me to sort these items so that the high-priority items are at the top.

Custom sort by dragging and dropping would also be super, super useful. Would love to see this implemented!
