I always wish torrent sites used some sort of data table widget to allow for easier sorting of the search results.

Something like this would work great (there may be better ones still): https://www.datatables.net/examples/styling/bootstrap4.html




It was considered, but this feature required javascript. Since javascript was not a option, it was discarded.If there is some other way without scripting, please let us know. It will be used and implemented.


It's tedious but can be accomplished with server side sorting.

You could have:

<th>

    <a href="/search?sort=name&direction=asc">

        Name

    <a>
</th>

The server side code would interpret the sort and direction parameters and sort results as instructed.


Server side sorting is already being done :)


On the issue of sorting, it should be labelled ASC for Ascending, not AESC. That's the only fault I can find...


will be fixed
