1155401 - Can't sort a Signature report by Version

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: Webapp, task)

Description

[Tobias B. Besemer [:BesTo] (QA)]

Example: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/signature/?signature=shutdownhang+|+_VEC_memset&_columns=date&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=build_id&_columns=platform&_columns=reason&_columns=address&page=1

This signature delivers 12,460 results on 250 pages.
For QA it would now be interesting if this signature still happens with the last versions.
So I try to sort the list by the version.

What I expect is:
That the complete list (12,460 results) are now sorted by the version and the first page starts with the lowest or highest (depends on the sort order) version.

What seems to happen:
Just the first page seems to be sorted by the version.
So it don't deliver a result the QA can work with.

To summarize, the problem is that sort just sorts the page, it doesn't go back to the server and sort all 12,460 results and give you a new page, correct?

If so I believe we have a bug on this but I can't find it just now...

Yes, that's correct.

As far as I know we did not have a bug for this, yet. The SuperSearch middleware service is now able to sort fields, so adding sorting to the UI shouldn't be too hard. 

Marking mentored for now, will fix when I have time if no one does it before that.

Assuming that the context is sorting the "Reports" tab in the signature report. That is now fully server-side. I.e. you click to sort by version and it does another SuperSearch with different sorting parameter. It used to be just in client-side and only sort the first page of the Reports tab.
