Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 472001

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030715
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030715

Also reproduced on Mozilla build 20030624

Problems with two columns in the download manager window:

1. Transferred column: Items are sorted by their alpha value rather than actual
file size.

2. Source column: sorting changes the row order in some fashion but the results
are not in an alphabetical order of URL or (apparently) any other column.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools Menu, Download Manager
2. Click on widget at top right of list header to enable the Source column
3. Ensure there are ten or so items present in the list with varying sizes and
sources.
4. Click on the Transferred column header to sort. Observe sort by alpha value
rather than transfer size.
5. Click on the Source column header to sort. Observe change of row order but no
sort by Source column alpha value.
Actual Results:  
Transferred column: Got an order of 10KB, 1104KB, 14KB, 2000KB, 200KB, etc.
 
Source column: Got order of (sample) 
http://www.jsiinc.com/...
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/...
http://story.news.yahoo.com/...
http://www.jgoodies.com/...

Expected Results:  
Transferred column: expect 10KB, 14KB, 200KB, 1104KB, 2000KB
Source column: expect alpha sort.

Reproduced with Modern and Default themes.

The problem with sorting of the transfered column is bug 188010.
I see the problem with the sorting of the Soruce column on LInux 2003112309.

Solved by the new UI in bug 472001 (just landed), so duping to that.
