1652292 - sort storage items

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1603831

(DevTools :: Storage Inspector, enhancement)

Description

[Glenn Linderman]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0

Steps to reproduce:

Created some indexeddb

Actual results:

They showed up, but in DevTools the order was not sorted.

Expected results:

It would be nice if they were sorted by name within the server listing in the left panel.

They do get sorted in the right panel when the server name is selected in the left panel.

Well, I misspoke... in my particular display, the right panel seems "more sorted" but if you look at the number part, you'll see that the 2nd pair is not sorted, although the other pairs are.

But in the left panel, the unsorted-ness is more obvious, as even the alphabetic part is unsorted.

And yes, there is a "funny character" between the two parts—this one: ¤

Thanks for the report!

Is there any chance to get a test case we could use to see the problem on our machines?
That would be great help!

There is also similar but reported:
Bug 1603831 - Sorting cookies in the storage inspector based on expiry time doesn't seem to work correctly

Perhaps it's the same problem?

I am marking as dup of bug 1603831

Please correct me if this isn't the same bug.

Thanks!

I can't tell that it is the same bug.

That bug talks about sorting cookies; I'm talking about sorting IndexedDB stuff.

That bug talks about sorting by time; I'm talking about sorting by name.

So they seem quite different in symptom; since both are in the storage inspector, there might be some connection, but unless someone actually debugs it and determines they are the same, I would have to think they are different.

Thanks for the correction!

Any chance you could provide a test page we could use to see the problem on our machines?
(can be an online page or a file attached to this bug)
That would be great help to make progress on this
