Description

Define the Problem

There could be thousands of content types so loading the full list of them in the content type filter in the new content drive may not be very performant.
Though we have a search in the content type filter, sometimes the user may not know what to search for and will rely on browsing the list.
For this browsing to be sucessful we need two things:
-To order in alphabetical order
-To load 100 items at a time and then load the next 100 as they scroll down and automatically trigger the request. Alternatively, we could load the first 200 and then show a load more or a load all link at the end of the 200.

Melissa will devise a solution for this, they may be more options out there too.

Who's Facing the Problem?

All users using the content drive.
