Bug#954790: bugs.debian.org: bugs are no longer sorted by modification time

2020-03-23 Thread Piotr Engelking
Package: bugs.debian.org
Severity: normal

Bugs used to be sorted by the modification time, which made it easier
to track recent bug changes. They are now, apparently, sorted by the
bug number, which is not particularly useful.

Please sort the bugs by modification time again, or make the behavior
configurable.

Bugs have always been ordered by bug number, and never by last modified
time. It's a reasonable feature request, but just not something we've
implemented.

For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing
continued to happen.

It was implemented and still is, but it seems to be no longer
accessible from the web interface for some reason. I can see that
appending ';ordering=age' to the pkgreport URL by hand works, though.
