For the 7.x usability discussion:

When managing content on the admin/content/node/overview page, let admins sort columns ad hoc. Say I want to find all the "blog" nodes and then sort them by author, or date, or title. That would be awesome.

Thanks!

Oh oh, and please display the creation date of the node in its own column, too. That would save people the trouble of creating custom views to override the core content browser.

You can already filter and sort - Drupal has been able to do this for a long time.

Changing title back. As of Drupal 6, we still cannot dynamically sort columns on the admin/content/node page.

I don't know what you mean.

Could you elaborate on 'dynamically sort columns'?

What I mean is that the table columns of the mysite.com/admin/content/node/overview page are not sortable. I can only sort the entire set of results one way, based on modification date. I cannot resort the entire page by author, title or status.

I'm suggesting that clicking on any of the column titles of that page should resort the nodes.
