Description Sam Davis CLA 2014-05-01 16:09:19 EDT 
Sort builds alphabetically in the builds view. They seem to be in a random order.
Comment 1 maarten meijer CLA 2014-09-16 10:11:37 EDT 
Builds can be sorted by clicking on the column headers, consecutive clicks set to ASCENDING, DESCENDING, NOTSORTED ad infinitum.
So propose closing as WORKSFORME
Is this a real bug or is the description too short?
Comment 2 Sam Davis CLA 2014-09-16 13:34:43 EDT 
Upon further investigation, here's the behaviour I see with the different sorting options:

* Ascending: build servers are sorted in *descending* order, builds in ascending order by status, builds with the same status are in random order
* Descending: build servers are sorted in descending order, builds in descending order by status, builds with the same status are in random order
* the mysterious third option: build servers are sorted in ascending order, builds in ascending order by name

This is pretty confusing. It would be better to be able to explicitly control whether sorting is by status or by name, and to sort build servers separately from builds.
Comment 3 Sam Davis CLA 2015-01-13 17:29:01 EST 
Lowering priority as the current behaviour works well enough.
