I've been thinking for a while that it would be very handy to be able to sort the 'Tasks for computer' tables, e.g. by 'Time reported or deadline' or by 'Outcome'. This way it would be very quick to check the latest reported results, even when a host is crunching WUs out-of-order. Also, it would be easy to find the WUs that errored out. Would this be feasible or would it place too much extra load on the database? All thoughts welcome! Cheers, Ron ID: 657672 ·

Please see this thread. I just wanna be able to pull up my results as last reported first so I can see what my rig has been doing for the last day or so, rather than have to sort thru my cache every time. I want it very much!!! "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ID: 657676 ·

I don't know quite who to contact, but you would think that they would read the 'wish list' thread. I thought that's what it was there for. In any case, it would be a wonderful thing to be able to pull up a rig's results by the last time reported first!! "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

Definitely - actually, that should be the default behavior, IMO - that's all I ever look at the results for. I'll try to find a place to post this over at BOINC... ID: 657689 ·

Please keep me advised if you get a response...PM me any time. EDIT...I am not sure it should be the default behaviour, if you are running a very small cache, the current method of display is fine. But with a larger cache, being able to see what has been recently crunched first has many advantages! "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ID: 657692 ·
