Trelligan Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Previously I could sort on a secondary column; this worked in 3.3.x. It stopped working in 3.4, and now that 3.4.1 is out without a fix I thought I'd draw attention to it. One of my workflows is to: - Select Downloading in the left pane - Click on the Seeds column twice, to sort decreasing - Shift-click on '#' once or twice, to sub-sort on number. The shift-click is the function which stopped working in 3.4. Another use for this is to first sort on Label, then shift-click on Size or Added. I can then scroll down to the variety of download and see which are the smallest or oldest. One might say that the Labels selection on the left would serve, but then completed and downloading items are mixed - and would have to be sub-sorted out. My main reason behind all this is to cull out downloads that have been inactive for too long, and expedite downloads that (currently) have lots of seeds available. Another reason is to cull out completed items that are no longer uploading, as some sites actually penalize excessive numbers of active shares. The active queuing that uTorrent supports helps out there. OCD? Yes, it's doing fine when last I checked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, too, would love if this feature could be restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yggdresil Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Same as RedPill, didn't even know it was there and is actually quite handy, it would be awesome if it worked again.And we should let people know it exists too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomstriker Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I used to use this feature all the time, i.e. primary sort on "completed on" column, secondary sort on "ETA". I never participated in the forums before...I am coming here specifically to complain about the loss of this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Seems fixed in 3.4.2. Not sure you want to take it just yet, due to extra crapware... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trelligan Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Confirmed - 3.4.2 fixes the sort problem. I consider this problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
