Two more enhancement requests on the scheduled task page (this will be the
last, I promise).

  1. Sort the task list by clicking the column headers:

We have a number of sites running the same core application, and they all require the same 6-8 scheduled jobs per site (some daily, weekly, and monthly). Our scheduled task list already has over 40 tasks. We like to spread out the big nightly jobs through the night so everything doesn't run at once. Adding a new site is tedious trying to organize the time slots for the new tasks (some jobs for each site need to run close to midnight, others later, so the sites have intermixed tasks by time). Being able to sort the task list by start time, name, frequency, etc., would be a major help to us. Could the column titles be made into links that sort the list and re-display the table?

  1. A new input field for each task called 'Group':

If there were one more optional input field for a task called 'Group', we could use that field as a common label for all the tasks for a single site, then we could also use the sort function to sort by Group, listing all the tasks for that site together. Right now we pre-pend the site name to the task name, but we can't then sort by task name to view all the same tasks for all sites (this would also be useful to make sure we didn't leave out a task for a new site).

These ideas may be too specific to our setup, but I could imagine that there might be others with a similar production setup as we have. Anyway, thanks for considering these suggestions, and thanks again for your work on
the project.
