[jira] [Updated] (SOLR-11649) Improve "Args" display in admin UI

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11649?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Shawn Heisey updated SOLR-11649:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
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.

Additionally, if a separate section showing the actual command could be added (which would typically show the following), that would be very nice.

Sample of what a section for the actual Java command would contain:
{noformat}
-jar start.jar "--module=http"
{noformat}
