427585 - the default search behavior on topcrasher should be to sort numbers descending, not ascending

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: General, task)

Description

[timeless]

the default search behavior on topcrasher should be to sort numbers descending, not ascending. i can't imagine anyone clicking on "mac" wants to see all crashes that *don't* happen on Mac. (obviously rank is a *special* case).

fwiw, it's only the numbers that are stupid.
rank and sig DtRt tm()

In theory, this should be able to accomplished by making a simple change:

  $(document).ready(function()
      {
          $("#signatureList").tablesorter({
              sortInitialOrder: "desc"
          });
      }
  );

However, the current implementation of tablesorter is broken and won't respect this pref. I've e-mailed the developer with a suggested fix.

It's not currently possible to specify a default sort order on a per-column basis, but I think that since people are going to sort by numbers more often, it'd be best to go with descending here.
