The query page only allows a limited range of sorting options. You can access more sorting options by clicking on column titles on the bug list page. Then by clicking "Edit Query" you can store a query with a non-standard sort order. This was useful for my "Voted Bugs" stored queries. When you edit the query however you get a weird option that is essentially an SQL fragment. This is confusing to the user and potentially contains duplicates which just looks silly. It however does work. It would be nice to be able to back-translate the sort order into something understandable and without duplicates.

Mass moving to new product Bugzilla...

and your sort paramater is sent without quoting to the server if it matches the regexp ^([a-zA-Z0-9_., ]+)$ So you can't put a ; in there, but I wonder if theres something else nasty which could be done.

We are currently trying to wrap up Bugzilla 2.16. We are now close enough to release time that anything that wasn't already ranked at P1 isn't going to make the cut. Thus this is being retargetted at 2.18. If you strongly disagree with this retargetting, please comment, however, be aware that we only have about 2 weeks left to review and test anything at this point, and we intend to devote this time to the remaining bugs that were designated as release blockers.

These bugs appear to be abandoned. Retargeting to 2.20

I cannot reproduce this bug using Matty's instructions in comment #0; I'm thinking that it's been fixed as a side-effect of something else along the way. Marking as WORKSFORME.

clearing target of DUPLICATE/WONTFIX/INVALID/WORKSFORME so they'll show up as untriaged if they get reopened.
