We should allow to group breakpoints by age in order to make it easier to disable or delete outdated ones. This can be done by adding a new group to the Breakpoints view.
> This can be done by adding a new group to the Breakpoints view. Grouping only allow somewhat arbitrary buckets, e.g.: last 2h, today, yesterday, last 7 days, last month, last year, older When the "Age" grouping is active, we should also change the sorting of items in the same group, so that most recently touched breakpoints are on top. "Age" could be defined as "created", "last modified" or "last hit". I think "last hit" would make the view quite noisy, since elements would have to be reordered all the time. "last modified" would also make breakpoints jump around on small modifications like toggling enablement or resetting the hit count. The creation time is probably the best age indicator.
This change request emerged/was updated based on a scientific study on how developers debug, in discussion with Daniel Megert, Markus Keller, Sarika Sinha, and Moritz Beller.

Working on it to provide user an option to select between sorting order ( By Name, By creation time) Currently Sorting is always By name.

Confusion on the Sorting Order Conditions - 1. "Creation Time" or "Age" I am fine with either of them, only point to note that most relevant will on the top. So Age sounds more appropriate but "Creation Time" is easily understandable for the user. 2. "Default" or "Name" - The current sorting order is not a normal "Name" sorting order as it also depends on the other marker attributes

NOTE: Both entries are missing the mnemonic.
(In reply to Dani Megert from comment #7) > > NOTE: Both entries are missing the mnemonic. Problem is how the user will know about Mnemonics in View Menu Item, Pressing "Alt" Just takes away the Menu from Focus. What I see is that "Group By" has "Accelerators" , 1 , 2 etc displayed before the Action Label, If that is ok, I can add that.
