342832 - Change how keywords and similar multi select items are presented

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, enhancement)

Description

[timeless]

steps:
1. run a query like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=coverity&order=bugs.keywords,bugs.bug_id
2. change your columns to:
ID  	 Keywords  	 Summary
3. sort by keywords because you want to sort by mlk, then crash, then coverity.

Note that in 3 you're trying to explicitly violate any alphabetical order imaginable.

Expected results: this should be possible.

Implementation:
[this is of course slightly problematic]
I think the way to offer columns is based on the keywords that are actually present in the result list (similarly for flags). Otherwise the list of columns to show in the changecolumns view will have 150 keywords and another 150 flags which would be really bad. If someone actually wants to sort on a keyword or flag, they should find a query that actually results in that keyword or flag :). (Expert users are allowed to hack urls to specify a keyword/flag).

Expected results
A. change list for my query:

Removing good-first-bug keyword because team does not have bandwidth to mentor at the moment.
