No way to change sort order of translation entries

[Andi Chandler]

It would be useful to be able to change the sort order of the translation tables on pages such as:
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+lang/en_GB

That way it would be quicker to jump straight to items not yet translated, without having to plough through lots of translated entries first.

Also perhaps the ability to show varying amounts of entries per page.

I guess this needs to be a place holder for a future feature request then, if the current backend does not support it at present?

[Andi Chandler (bing)]

The top-level language page for Precise (https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise) appears to now support this functionality. Is this new? Can this be replicated to lower pages?

This functionality appears to have been added... it's now so much easier to jump to the outstanding issues. :-)

- It would be great to be able to specify the default sort order (ascending/decending)
- The block limit of 300 should be increased to view the whole dataset in one view.

Please advise if these need new bug reports?

You are welcome to file a bug for this if you like.

We won't be doing this: generating more data at once than a user can
meaningfully digest wastes server resources and takes longer to
deliver.

This has been fixed now, can this bug be closed?
