Обсуждение: sort of logfile combobox in server status window

Hi ,

in my daily use I would prefer having the entries of the logfile combox in the server status sorted in reverse order.
For me the most intresting files are the current, the last, the one before and so on.
If the server has been setup some days ago, this means often scrolling the end.

I would suggest to sort the files by filetime in reverse order.
Any other thoughts about this.
If others work in another way this may be a checkbox for the options section.

You're right. It seems better that way.

I guess most users would want it that way (even if, AFAICT, noone
actually did care enougth to tell us). Anyways, I commited your "patch".
It will be available in the future 1.14 release.

About your "patch". It's better not to send the whole file. You should
send a diff/patch file. It's quite easy to do with git. A simple "git
diff > work.patch" and it's done. You just need to send the work.patch
file. Or even better, use "git format-patch".

Thanks for your work.
