Better sorting and filtering of time entries #7

Open reece opened 4 years ago

reece commented 4 years ago

What I want

I want to be able to view unbilled time entries in chronological order.

What FB does currently

There's no explicit billed/unbilled filter. The workaround is to sort by status.

Unfortunately, it appears that modified date (or a proxy) is used as the secondary sort key. Therefore, entries are out of order. For example:

unnamed

Note that these items are not in date order. My guess is that they're in order of last update.

Preferred Solution

I would prefer an explicit filter for status. Sorting would then be within the filtered data.

A harder implementation and more confusing UX would be stable sorting with multiple keys.
