Abstract
A method and arrangement are disclosed for scrolling between entries in an indexed list as a response to scrolling commands given through the activation of selectors. The indexed list is arranged into sections so that all entries of a section have at least one equally valued indexable property and each section has a first entry. Scrolling (202, 311, 408, 502, 614, 701, 702, 704, 705, 707, 708) to the first entry of a certain section takes place as a response to a first scrolling command, and scrolling (201, 308, 406, 501, 611) from an entry in the indexed list to the immediately adjacent entry in the indexed list takes place as a response to a second scrolling command. The step of scrolling to the first entry of a certain section is executed as a response to a first scrolling command (309, 313, 407, 612, 616) given through the activation of a scrolling selector. The step of scrolling from an entry in the indexed list into the immediately adjacent entry in the indexed list is executed as a response to a second scrolling command (305, 405, 609) given through the activation of the same scrolling selector.
