Description Kim Horne CLA 2007-05-31 13:37:30 EDT 
It would be nice if we could sort by a second column in this dialog in the event that two or more elements are equal based on their primary column.

Not in I20071218-0800: Bug 173752 added sorting, but without secondary column (e.g. sort by Plug-in Id and then by Provider -> Ids for Eclipse plug-ins are unsorted)

assigning milestone for investigation in 3.6

Fixed in HEAD >20091022.
My goal was to provide something useful without having to introduce UI to manage the column sort order and associated ascending/descending preferences.

So we keep it simple:
- always remember the last column we sorted by and its sort order in addition to current column and sort order
- if first column is a tie, sort by the last column we sorted by and the order last used in that column.
