[Koha-devel] Change get_saved_reports order to alphabetical?

[Wagner, Jane]

That's more ambitious that I was planning, but probably a better approach.  Worth looking into in my mythical free time....

This might a be a candidate for a javascript-based table sorter. The
only caveat there is you wouldn't want to use that if you had a really
large table that would take too long to process. I don't know how
likely that is--do people have hundreds of saved reports?

You'd also want to add a column in the display for date so that you
could resort by date if you wanted to.

What do others think?
