I have used viewvc for many years and really find the ability to group the code in ways beyond the alphabetic by filename very useful.

This feature brings added value to what is present & also makes the behavior between tickets and the code browsing more consistent.

For small projects, it isn’t a big deal to see at a glance project statistics, but larger projects, it helps “guide me” to areas that have changed or are large without needing to run a client across the code base.

Could you please formulate some concrete requirements? What would you like to be able to sort by?

I’d like to be able to sort based on the following fields:

  • None – default, the current behavior alphabetic folders first, then files
  • Name – alphabetic by file/directory name (no distinction between files or directories)
  • Oldest – sorted oldest (top) to newest (bottom) (no distinction between files or directories)
  • Newest – sorted newest (top) to oldest (bottom) (no distinction between files or directories)
  • Size – folders first by number of files/directories contained, then files by filesize – largest (top) to smallest (bottom)
  • Commit – alphabetic by the last person to commit file (no distinction between files or directories)
