Thanks Tie-fighter, that really helpful to me.
It look as if you want a filter, not a search.
I don’t know what best practice suggests for showing that columns are
sortable - randomly clicking seems to work for me. Paging @ninavizz
Is the “age”, the age of report or the age of hardware? How would the
latter be determined. Is it relevant? Why?
What about other factors that are relevant in Qubes - e.g. maximum
installable RAM? What about cost? That’s obviously relevant to some
users.
Which of the many possible filters should be supported? If you
filtered by (reported) manufacturer, what about cases such as
Clevo/System76/Vant/all the rest , or rebadged Lenovos or Dells.
I’m not clear that there will be features working in 4.0 that wont work
in 4.1. There were for the 3.2/4.0 transition but the 3.2 reports are
still useful.
This is a really difficult topic to approach, with many questions to
resolve, but I don’t think we should put off PR.
Making it clear that columns are sortable would be an advance, which
could be done immediately, while the other questions are batted about.
