The Problems view is sorted primarily by severity, and secondarly by what folder the problem occured in. I would like the sort order to default to sort primarily by severity (as currently) and secondarly by problem timestamp ("Creation Time") in descending order. The reasoning for this is that sorting by sorting by timestamp, the files I most recently changed end up at the top of the list. As those are already at the top of my mind, those are the places in which I'm most likely to fix any issues. The reason I ran into this was that when upgrading from 2.1 to 3.0, I turned on a bunch of new Java warnings, and I got about a thousand of them in the project I'm in. Since there's no chance I'll try to fix all of them, at least putting the ones I'm most likely to fix at the top of the list would be helpful. As a workaround I can set this myself (and I do), but as I guess this would be helpful to others as well, this bugzilla is about getting the defaults changed.
Tinmestamp is not displayed to the user so this would not be an obvious default
So how about displaying the timestamp to the user?
If there were suffecient votes on this request we could consider it
There are currently no plans to work on this feature
We've had a similar request. Maybe there should be a way for IDE providers to be able to override the sorting options for their products. I don't see a way to do this currently as these values are stored as dialog settings and not pref settings.
Reopening. We have no plans to look at this ourselves in the 3.3 trameframe but I would be happy to review a patch
Marking LATER
Is creation time the time that the file was last modified or when the problem marker was created? In either case I think it would make sense to move the time to the front of the default sort order: protected IField[] getSortingFields() { return new IField[] { creationTime, severityAndMessage, folder, resource, lineNumber, // Add the marker ID so the table sorter won't reduce // errors on the same line bug 82502 id }; } The bigger picture here though is that IDE providers should be able to choose the defaults which best fit their products. We do this extensively with preference values in our product plugin_customization.ini file. But since these values are dialog settings, I don't think there is a way to override the defaults. Or is there? If not, any suggestions on how to change it so products can override the defaults? We can do the work but I'm not sure the best approach for this.
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported. Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
