SEPM Console Clients are not Sorted

When I view clients in the SEPM console I have about 6 pages of them.  I click on Name or some other heading to sort them alphabetically but going to the next page they are unsorted again. I would like to see them all at once like it was in Ver 10.

I agree wholeheartedly with this.  I hate having to go through pages and pages to  find the machine I'm looking for.  I've tried upping my filter to 1000 machines so I get more on a page but there is some limit to how many will be displayed and the rest just disappear.

It also needs to retain the sort when you change the View.

It's hard for me to imagine that SEP 11 was ever released without this basic, obvous functionality. Much less that it still lacks this basic, obvious functionality a dozen-ish MPs/MRs--and what, 2 years?--later.

Then again, as notoriously slow as the Java console is, and given that sorting requires additional CPU cycles, perhaps this is intended as a performance optimization!

PLEASE give us an unfiltered view!

I have to go to View A to see this info. I have to go to View B to see that info, etc.

In SAV 10 I did have to scroll right, but I could see everything about a client at one time.

The sorting is horrible.  It

The sorting is horrible.  It should be fixed immediately.  To not sort all pages when you click on a column header makes sorting completely unusable at all.  When will this be fixed?

Set Display Filter

I have set my display filter to 5000 (seems to be as big as it will go)

This appears to work OK in the largest OU where I have 600 PCs

just a comment

I have found that machines listed on page x stay on page x. meaning if computer JoeSmith is on page 3. you can log out and log back in and joesmith will still be on page 3.

Seems to me that these are listed in an order similar to when the machines were entered into the system.

I don't know anyone who would ever need to know that info. But this type of functionality being overlooked makes confidence in the overall product look bad.

I already understand that this is to be resolved in the next revision.

Client Status View does not properly sort by name

I'm basically saying the same thing as everyone else above, but I'll submit this request anyway to emphasize that it needs to be fixed.

When viewing the Endpoint clients using the Client Status view, the sort by name works within each individual page, but does not alphabetize all your clients if your list spans more than one page. I have 125 clients running Endpoint. I often like to view in Client Status view because that view shows me the product version the client is using (MR4, RU5, etc.). If I click the Name column to alphabetize the clients, page 1 of my names is alphabetized, but pages 2-4 are not.
