Status column sort

[egg]

This has been addressed before but I am having some difficulty.  I want to sort the status column.  The forums are saying to edit the ttxcfg.cgi file by adding

defaultstatus=(PND|OPN|WFR|CLS)

Is that correct?

Is there a certain place in the file where I should add this line?  Is there another file to edit?

When I implemented it, it seemed that the default screen would show 'Hot' tests only.  I want to be able to toggle the column ascending and descending.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

No.

"defaultstatus" has nothing to do with sorting... it's for setting the Default Status.

Also, "(PND|OPN|WFR|CLS)" is not a valid defined status.  (You can't just make up a pseudo-status)

EXAMPLE:

OPN stands for 'Open',
WFR stands for 'Responded',
"(OPN|WFR)" stands for 'Active'... which is just a combination of all Open and Responded tickets.  I call it a pseudo-status.

These status codes and their long-names are clearly defined within the Perl programming.  There are threads in the Modification Forum which explain status codes in great detail.

.... I want to be able to toggle the column ascending and descending.

You cannot.  Not without editing the Perl modules.

Thanks for the quick reply, is the editing of the Perl modules a complicated process.  Does the forum already have a question and answer on this.

I spent a great deal of time setting up numerous sticky FAQ threads in both forums.

Just read them... starting with the ones called "Read me before posting..."
