[pve-devel] [RFC PATCH manager 3/3] ui: enable multiColumnSort for storage backup content

[Aaron Lauterer]

I tried the series including this patch and yeah... sorting becomes very 
unpredicatable and weird. AFAICT it also depends on which order the last 3 
columns are selected.

The old behavior was that it was first sorted by VMID and then within the VMID 
by date right?
Is there a way to group by row property in ExtJS grids?

I personally would probably not use this patch.
