Global user contributions: Support sorting results chronologically
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Krinkle's MoreContributions tool in the Toolserver was quite handy in that it provided a global contributions listing that actually felt unified, i.e. instead of multiple lists of contributions appended to each other, the whole set of results was sorted chronologically.

It would be nice if GUC supported both the current per-wiki sort, and the per-date sort that MoreContributions had.

It can still be improved further (table formatting, change sizes etc.) - but it's a start!

Thank you a lot for implementing this simple but crucial feature. I constantly found myself scanning recent contributions with endles ctrl-F permutations. No longer!
