servicegroup sorting in forms
Posted: Mon Apr 29, 2013 10:07 am
Installed Version: 2012R1.8
When managing a service in the web interface, the "Manage Servicegroups" form displays servicegroups by the name field and is sorted by that field (I would have prefered using the descripton field, but that's another matter).
When using the Generic Network Device Monitoring Wizard, the Service Groups are displayed by Description (yea!), but are sorted by Name, which is a bit if a PITA since my Descriptions are 'official' services that I have no control over, and my shorthand names which we use on the monitoring side do not necessarilly start with the same letter.
While I would prefer to use the description consistantly throughout the web interface, if using one or the other, the list should be sorted by the field that is displayed.
