Suggestion. (fwd)
not acked (no need).
something for a bored programmer to play with one day...

Subject: Suggestion.
Hi,
I use the apacheserver here on a local intranet, and it works quite well (not to say excellent!). Just a small suggestion:
When a directory is listed, it is always sorted (using qsort in mod_dir.c). Now there should be a way to influence this sorting (sort of "ls" options...)
E.g. I want to display the latest files first, ... or use a reverse sort (because I name my files 960531.txt, etc), or I don't want any sorting...
For the rest, keep up the great work.

This would be tremendous. I have some ideas about using an extended
mod_dir.c as an interface to RCS, too. :)

Yeah. I was looking into doing that a while back. Got sidetracked,
though.
IF anyone has the time to do it, the interface I think we should use
is the interface MacOS's Finder uses for non-iconic folder listings.
(Of all things. But it does look good and work well.)
In short, clicking on the column headers resorts the list on that
column, and the sorted column's header is highlighted. The mac
underlines the header, as I recall. We should <EM> it, I think.
