Description: Perusing MY list of bug reports I decided to sort on "Changed". After 15 minutes it was still advising me to "Please stand by" with an oscillating progress bar. I then closed and refreshed everything and tried again. I monitored my Task manager stats and it appears as though all the work is being handed to my browser as the processor allocation ranges from 1 - 6,5% and the memory allocation slowly increased from 924MB to 949MB. The two "feedback" pages were the only active tabs. The LO reporting system advised me to "Take it to Redmine" but I found no easy way of identifying whether I was in the right place nor how to assess whether the issue is on their "to do list". I was trying to be helpful as I imagine other users might wish to sort "their" issues on the changed date but it appears to me that the "sort changed" feature attempts to sort the entire bug list database rather than the users' discrete lists. Without a quantum computer linked to a quantum browser I can't imagine the "sort changed" feature being any more useful than an ashtray on a motorbike. Was I in the right place? Is it worth following up or is this a "NOT A BUG - WORKS FOR NOBODY"? Steps to Reproduce: I did this 07:56:00 Accessed the site via Help>Send Feedback – “Create a bug report” and requested “My” list 08:00:00 After perusing the first few items I requested a sort on “changed” Tab changed to > Bugzilla is pondering your search Screen changed to > Please stand by – with oscillating progress bar Made a cup of tea Loaded Washing machine 08:10:00 Still on stand by 08:11:00 Ditched the tab Closed and refreshed the browser 08:14:00 Accessed the site via Help>Send Feedback – “Create a bug report” and requested “My” list 08:15:00 Sort on date Tab changed to > Bugzilla is pondering your search Screen changed to > Please stand by – with oscillating progress bar Task manager indicates up to 6,5% processor for Browser with memory use slowly increasing 08:17:00 924 MB 08:24:00 930 MB 08:30:00 949 MB Or alternatively you could try to sort your own bug list on "changed" in the "Create a bug report" section of the LO Feedback hub and nominate me for a pullitzer ;)).

The Bugzilla of today is largely a server-based application, so it is our server doing the sorting work. Probably that particular aspect would not change even if it was developed emphasising more and more the client-side. Probably you can navigate to your browser's about:memory or whatever it is that allows you to scrutinise more closely what is happening. Redmine is used to report and track website and web app related topics (and also server infrastructure). Personally, I don't see much reason for this, but the decision was made long ago. Of course, the decision can be reversed, especially if we can finally boost Bugzilla development (waiting for final board approval of budget).

Not sure if it helps but I just "pasted special - unformatted text" a "drag Selection" of the screen into a LO table to see what happens. Works like a charm and sorts before you even get your mouse out of the filter pop-up Will you redefine it as "NOT A BUG" or should I?

I don't know, but I assume it sorts only the visible reports. > Not sure if it helps but I just "pasted special - unformatted text" a "drag > Selection" of the screen into a LO table to see what happens. > Works like a charm and sorts before you even get your mouse out of the > filter pop-up > > Will you redefine it as "NOT A BUG" or should I? I will close.
