8647 - Query screen should have option to sort on last changed date/time.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Matthew Tuck [:CodeMachine]]

There are already three options for sorting - importance, bug num, assignee.
"Last changed" would be a useful addition.  This would allow me to monitor
changes when I have web but not email access, since the top bug in query
results would be the one most recently changed, and hence the first one to look
at.

There is already the ability to restrict to bugs changed within the last x days,
but this is not coarser than a day (I'm asking for sorting based on date &
time), and does not put the most recently changed at the top.

I'm not disagreeing, and I'm not closing the bug, but you should realize that
there is a way to get the functionality you asked for.

Bring up a list of bugs.  Click on "change columns".  Make sure that you have
checked "changeddate".  Click on Submit.

Now, in your new list of bugs, click on the "Changed" column header.  The list
of bugs will be sorted in order of change.

And the most recent one is on the bottom, not the top, but that's pretty easy to
live with...

Cool, thanks, it seems to even work to the exact time.  Now I have a bookmark.

I would be inclined to say if you could sort it at all you should be able to
sort it like that by default, by seeing how many columns there are, maybe not.
=)  I still think this RFE should stand as it is though because it was useful to
me and the change columns feature wasn't really obvious, at least to me.

Change Columns??  Woo hoo!  This is exactly what I was about to file a bug on, 
but even more extensive.  Instead I guess you'll just get this spam message with 
me sharing my joy.

this isn't a bug then is it?

Nope.  Resolution should really be Invalid.

Comment 7

[Matthew Tuck [:CodeMachine]]

This bug asks specifically for an option _on the query screen_.  This has not
fixed, and while it is not a bug, it's a valid RFE!
