Feature Request: Sort Virtual Machines List

[andrewg]

So just thought I would suggest a feature that might be easy to implement and would be helpful down the road with larger installs.
Basically the ability to sort the list of VMs on the Virtual Machines web interface page. Currently there are the headings:
VMID Status Name Uptime Disk Memory CPU

It would be nice to be able to click on the headings to sort the VMs in that order, like a file manager or process manager. So you could click Status and have all the running machines at the top, or click uptime to see which machine has been up the longest, see which machines are using the most cpu or memory, etc.

Keep up the awesome work!

thanks for this suggestion, we will look at this but I am not sure if this will work. pls note, we display all machines (and refreshing fast) from all cluster nodes so this could be a bit tricky - means if you sort by CPU percentage the whole table get resorted very fast, making it quite unusable - but I will discuss this with the developers.

Yes I figured the cpu and memory would be harder to do as they can change quickly, maybe do a moving average for 10 seconds or so.
But those are pretty easy to see visually, I think the most useful one would be status, it would be a quick way to see what machines are running rather than going through a big list.
Uptime and Disc usage would be the next most useful. Mem and Cpu I could certainly live without.
