Bug Description

After my fix to bug 148226 lands, on branch listings that don't batch we'll have two ways of sorting the listing: by using the sort by widget or by clicking the headings, sorttable style.

This is probably confusing. The ideal option is perhaps to have the clicky headings always work, and do ajax (or ahah) when the columns are clicked and there's more than a page's worth of results.

Your bug, so I'll assign to you :)

It'd be good if you could add a "we'll know we're done when" sentence.

Unassigning, I'm not going to work on it in the near future.

We'll know we're done when the experience of sorting branches isn't so confusing as it is now.

I think Tim has some kind of grand plan for this branch browsing/sorting/searching. There's a blueprint 'branch-list-searching' but it's only a placeholder so far.
