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. There should be an option to merge optional bits into a summary like field. Things like keywords and flags are 0 or more lists which means the longest one currently forces the entire column to grow. Most people end up being silly and prefixing whichever silly keywords they care about into the bug summary anyway which means that we should have a way to do this for them. Expected results A. change list for my query: (this is not designed to be viewed in a proportionally spaced font, if you're using a web browser or a clever mail reader, copy to your favorite notepad.) Change Columns Select the columns you wish to appear in your bug lists. Note that this feature requires cookies to work. [ ] Alias ... [ ] Whiteboard -*- Keywords .________________. | ALL | | aviary-landing | | coverity | | crash | |>fixed1.8.0.4 <| |>fixed1.8.0.5 <| |>fixed1.8.1 <| |>helpwanted <| |>mlk <| |________________| [ ] Full Summary [ ] Summary (first 60 characters) [x] Merged fields: [ Keywords:coverity, Summary ] [You can specify any field(s) listed above. Please use commas or quote field namesto distinguish fields. For any subfield, prefix the subfield with the fieldname and a colon, e.g. Keywords:coverity ] Normal headers (prettier) Stagger headers (often makes list more compact) [ Change Columns ] [ Reset to Bugzilla Default ]
Your proposal is not going to fix you original problem. Having all keywords concatenated into e.g. the bug summary won't help at all. You still have the same problem, except this now happens in another column.
