It would be great to be able to query bugs and order bug lists based on the time the last comment was submitted, not just on the time that the fields changed. I looked in the "query.cgi?format=advanced" form, but could find no way of doing so - querying based on "Only bugs changed in the last N days" only looks for changes in bug fields, not comments. Or perhaps there could be a single "Update Time" field that contains the time that the last comment was updated or any field has changed - this field should be displayed in lists and should be able to be used to order the list. This would be particularly useful in the case where bugzilla emails are lost owing to a non-functioning mail-server, to allow one to easily see what bugs have most recently been updated / commented upon .
There is a column that can be added to your bug list called Change Date that will list in your query the date that the bugs was last changed including comments. Just click on Change Columns at the bottom of your bug lists and check the box for Change Date. There is also one for Open Date as well. You can sort based on those columns as well. I admit that the ability to query for bugs which had a comment made between a date range would be useful and I also do not see a way to do that easily through the query UI. I will need to look into adding this functionality or see if their are patches out there for that.

Basically I was asking for the ability to add a custom sort column (of any field) for results display, much like the custom search allows a search on any field. Even better: If I choose certain fields for a custom search, it would be great if those fields came up in the query results so the results could be sorted on those same fields.
(In reply to comment #9) > Even better: If I choose certain fields for a custom search, it would be > great if those fields came up in the query results Does the field show up when you click the 'Change columns' link in the buglist.cgi page? If not, what field? > so the results could be > sorted on those same fields. Once the field shows, you can click on the heading to sort using this field (and click again to reverse it). -- simon
Resetting this to defaults for PM consideration.
Just a small suggestion. Clicking the 'changed' field pretty much gets the job done. You can close if you like.
