You can change the sort order by clicking the column headers. It's a standard folder view.

This will be superseded (eventually) by Bug 663182.

FYI, table headers aren't clickable on about:sync-log. But as bug 663182 is in the work, it doesn't really matter.

They are on my machine, and have been for a few releases. Haven't checked 17, but they're definitely clickable on Mac 20.

Today's Nightly build, Windows 7, definitely not clickable. Did whichever patch introduced that forget to include the changes for Windows?

I see nothing in netwerk/streamconv/converters/nsIndexedToHTML.cpp (which is what produces the directory listing) that is platform-specific. Each of the file <td>s has a "sortable-data" attribute. So I don't know the cause, but I'm guessing it's Windows-specific.

Please file a bug in Core::Networking as a follow-up to Bug 294800.
