             Summary: Improve "Args" display in admin UI
                 Key: SOLR-11649
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11649
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: Admin UI
    Affects Versions: 7.1
            Reporter: Shawn Heisey
            Priority: Minor


Followup issue from discussion on SOLR-11645.

The Java commandline argument list is currently sorted alphanumerically in the admin UI dashboard.  If there is any possibility that Java might behave differently with competing options in a different order (which I think is likely, but I have not yet verified), it is a bad idea to show them in a different order than they actually exist on the commandline.  In that event, it would be impossible to determine what Java will actually do if the actual order cannot be seen.

I propose that we make the list unsorted by default, which will show them in actual commandline order, and then place some kind of "Sort Args" button/option on the dashboard that will temporarily order them so it is easier to scan the list quickly.  A page refresh once the list is sorted should restore the unsorted list.
