Change Request: the order of posts in Discussion section


Justin Wang (1511615) | asked Jul 24 '08, 4:31 a.m.
Hi, pals,

I find the order of posts in Discussion section is not very convenient.

It always post the latest comments last... when I am traking a defect, I have to always go to the last to find out what is new..

Can we have an option to make the latest comments first?

You can always connect using an NNTP client, then you can sort any way
you want and have read/unread markers.

I would like to use web client as much as possible as we can not ask everyone to install the clients.

Can this be an enhancement of web client for the future?

I believe Justin is talking about the order of Comments in the
Discussion section of a workitem, not postings to this newsgroup.

I am not aware of a way to control the ordering of the display of
comments, or any way of marking a particular comment as having been
read, so this probably needs an Enhancement workitem to be submitted for it.

Cheers,
Geoff

I've created workitem 59262 for changing the order of the comments in
the WebUI, and workitem 59263 for read/unread markers.
