1069385 - Running jobs should not appear before (to the left of) completed jobs of the same type

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

On http://treeherder-dev.allizom.org/ui/#/jobs?repo=comm-central&revision=55427f943059 I retriggered on of the mozmill ("Z") jobs.

However the running job appeared before (to the left of) the completed jobs of the same type, rather than after.

For sort order, TBPL uses (in descending order of priority):
1) Job name
2) Job state (completed, then running, then pending)
3) Job start time (older to newer)

I'm wondering if we can perhaps improve on TBPL's way and omit #2 from consideration. ie: display jobs in just order of start time (and not relying on pending/running/completed state at all) - and then it's clearer if an old job is taking ages. This would also simplify the implementation here.

@sheriffs: what are you thoughts? Should sort order of retriggers of the same job type be like TBPL or just by start time? (Either way, it's different from the current order seen on treeherder)

Tweaking summary given the expected result is not yet confirmed, but we do know what we don't want.
