Hey folks, around 2003 somebody figured out the Browser can sort a table orders of magnitude faster than doing server round trips. Especially useful with large issues lists, or on a hard hit server, or when bandwidth stream is less than 100 Mbps (ex. over VPN in an airport or hotel)

I keep hoping sortable magic will appear in Jira without having to ask... but...uh, no.

Is client-side sorting at least on the roadmap?

Some potential implementations:
