Topic: suggestion for improving search experience

Wouldn't it be nice to have the column headers Subject, From, To, Size and Date to be clickable to sort the found items list by this column and at a second click reverse the sorting? cool

Just my 2C

Suggestion accepted. smile

Question for you: Would you like to sort items on current page, or items server wide?
Sorting items on current page doesn't fire new http request and no FTS query in the background, but sorting all items stored on server does.

I'd like to sort the current search results. Might be necessary to trigger a new SQL search adding a ORDER BY ... ASC | DESC statement though. Don't know how you can work with SQL within your programming environment. hmm
