It could be nice if you could sort by:
- Type
- Text
- Source File
- Line number

javascript console...

[Alex Vincent [:WeirdAl]]

Here, have a vote.  :)  This would be very useful to me.

Comment 4

I'm not sure what the purpose of all these sort functions would be, by type can just as easily be accomplished by moving to the type's tab, by text might be nice, source file doesn't really make sense as the errors generally come in sorted by source file, and by line number, how is that useful?

The Error Console has been removed in favor of the Browser Console (see Bug 1278368), and the component is going to be removed.  If this bug is also relevant in the Browser Console, please reopen and move this into Firefox -> Developer Tools: Console.

I am mass-reopening and re-componenting every single one of the Toolkit:Error Console bugs that appear to have been closed without anyone even *glancing* at whether they were relevant to the Browser Console.

If you want to close a whole bunch of old bugs -- FOR ANY REASON -- it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to check EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM and make sure they are no longer valid.  Do not push that work onto the bug reporters.

(It's okay to close bugs that haven't been touched in years when they don't have enough information for you to figure out whether the problem is still relevant to the current software - the reporter probably isn't coming back to clarify.  But that is the ONLY situation where it is okay.)

(I'm going to have to do this in two steps because of the way the "change several bugs at once" form works.  Apologies for the extra bugspam.)

Doesn't translate to browser console, so resolving
