271524 - order of products on query.cgi could be better

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

So, now that we no longer have a Browser product, none of the probably most
common products are shown in the product listbox on query.cgi: All of firefox,
core and mozilla application suite require scrolling to select them.

Can we change the order somehow, maybe similar to enter_bug.cgi's order?

Bugzilla doesn't have a notion of order of products, so we'd need to either introduce that or hard-code something. We could perhaps add a snippet of JS to reorder the list, but it might have nasty interactions with our fairly complex code which populates the Component and Version fields from the Product field, and which might expect them to stay in a particular order to match its data structures.

So the short answer after a long time is: no :-(

Taking all of myk's bugs in the Other b.m.o issues component that he isn't actively working on, since he's no longer the default assignee for this component, and these were all filed while he was.

We now have classifications that make this easy to do. You can use the classifications to only show certain sets of products.
