Show build failures at the top of the list #4

Right now, you have to scroll to find the failing builds. I think it would be best to show them at the top.

I believe we talked about having the view be able to filter only build failures - and maybe trigger that filter when you clicked the failure icon. But I think having the default sort be by status with failures at the top also make sense. I was struck by how rarely you care about looking at the full list of passing builds - seems that 80% of the time you just want maybe the count of passing builds and then more detail on the failures.

I just committed an improvement that lets you sort by column, and Woodhouse now remembers your sorting preferences, even after you quit. Filtering seems like a different set of features. Once we have a preferences dialog we could add a checkbox to "Hide successful builds", I'm not convinced there's a lot of value in arbitrary filtering. Thoughts?

I think the sorting preferences are great. I also like the idea of an option to hide successful builds.
