CatLight v3.0.31 does not allow sorting the list of builds from latest to oldest.

CatLight v3.0.31 does not allow sorting the list of builds from latest to oldest. Version 2.0 did allow that.

Thanks for the feedback! In V3 we moved to the concept of an action list - they show the user a prioritized list of things to do and fix, and engineers can process this list from top to bottom.

Currently, broken builds are sorted from the oldest to newest, so the build that broke the longest time ago is at the top of the list. The idea behind it is that it's fair to fix the oldest problems first because they were in the queue for the most time. The same sorting approach applies to other action items.

If some of your build pipelines are more important than others, then you can edit panel settings, create an item group "Important builds", and add a rule that will show them above other builds.

Also, if you just want to keep an eye on build status, you can add a watch list - by default it will show the latest builds on the top, regardless of their status.

If you migrated from V2, you can add a new dashboard that will have a pre-configured action list and watch list panels.

Let me know what you think, and how the new concepts fit into your workflow.

The Watch List is what I need.

I use Catlight to monitor the overall build process and if a build break occurs I can determine if it is an environmental issue or a developer issue.

Overall, I think the new version has potential.
