Sorting in History Window Only Sorts Current Page

[uyaem]

I've finally processed more than 1000 work units that were monitored by HFM, so the history window pages.

As the title says, if I e.g. sort by "Finished (UTC)" descending, it will only sort the items on the current page. So the top row will display the last completed of the first $page_size items, not the last completed overall. That has fooled me a few times already. :)

Is this intended, or a side-effect of the sorting implementation (without looking: sorting the grid, not the data source)?

Precisely, sorting the grid, not the data source. The generated queries have no provision for sorting at the data source. That's a good thought though. Perhaps adding an additional section for order by in the query dialog.

I also sort by "Finished (UTC)" descending and to see the latest I always just click the "last page" button here.

Perhaps there's also an opportunity for an option to start on the last page, not the first.

Ah, thanks for reporting this @uyaem as I have spent the last few weeks in circles and was wondering what was happening. I accidentally discovered the solution of @harlam357 after systematically clicking buttons at random until I saw what I was looking for 😆
