iElectric Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 uTorrent sorts my torrent like this:DownloadingFinishedSeedingStoppedThat doesnt make sense. It should be:DownloadingSeedingFinishedStopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 I agree, the status column should work like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaSteve Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 i would rather it not sort my torrents at all, its annoying that the program moves them about. i like to be able to move ALL my torrents around MYSELF, even ones that are finished or seeding.

Huck Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 I think Stopped torrents should stay after Downloading and before Seeding and Finished. I have 30+ Finished torrents and sort torrents by Status so that Downloading were on the top. And every time i add new torrent (in stopped mode) or stop a downloading one it drops in the bottom of the list. I have to scroll all my torrents to get it. What do you think?Thanks.

chaosblade Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 By logical order stopped should be the very last, or at least the second last before Finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huck Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Stopped status equals (as i imagine) Waiting = not Queued or Downloading yet. Therefore stopped torrent should more logically stay next after queued. Thus in my mind sorting by status looks like this:DownloadingQueuedStoppedSeedingFinished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 But even incomplete seeding tasks can be 'Stopped'. So placing those above the seeding is odd, hence why i suggested for it to be after all the downloading\seeding variations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huck Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 But even incomplete seeding tasks can be 'Stopped'.What does mean 'incomplete seeding tasks'? Upload? I didn't upload anything with µtorrent yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbad0n Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 It's alphabetical.If you have another "alphabetical" status scheme you want used, suggest it. I don't see the need to change this. Sort by some other method if you don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huck Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 It's alphabetical.<...>Sort by some other method if you don't like it.1. Alphabetical sorting in status column does not make any sense to me at all. Nonsense.<...>2. I made an angry answer (sorry) and after that all of a sudden discovered that your recommendation was very good. # column does exactly what i need. And thus status column becomes totally obsolete (to me). Indeed, i have status icons that work quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaosblade Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Huck: Those incomplete seeding tasks would be ones that haven't reached their goal. Not sure if thats just a logical view or if uTorrent actually minds those as being incomplete.I somewhat miss the chronological ordering from certain clients. But im happy with the # sorting aswell.

Venimus Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Yeah, seems more intuitive to have a chronological sorting as a second criteria. It is alphabetical now.Btw the ordering is even quite stranger that the posted above:If i use # sort:Mix of Dowloading/Paused/Queued_Download - # sortStopped - Alpha sortSeeding - Alpha sortMix of Finished/Queued_Seed - Alpha sortSeems like second criteria is always alpha. You can sort by "status" colum, but there are 2 problems there # dont work and paused is same for downloading and seeding.Microsoft did some good sorting with making three level criteria (winXP have even more). First click defines the 3rd criteria, second defines the 2nd and last click defines the 1st. Every next click shifts the definition 1 level below.So if you have "name", "type", "date" you can define to have "A... named docs made today" to stay ontop byclicking name, then date, then type columns.Name|Type|Date|A0003 DOC TodayA0004 DOC TodayA0001 DOC YesterdayA0002 DOC YesterdayA0001 TXT TodayB0002 TXT YesterdayI would be happy if this type of sorting is implemented but I am happy with # sorting, so i dont think any mess with that is desperatly needed.
