Hallo Reimar und Holger, euch beiden und euren Familien ein frohes neues Jahr.
When viewing the Last Hits in its pop-up window, by default the entries are listed with the newest hits for the day at the top, and the oldest hits for the day at the bottom, as shown in the left screenshot in the image below. In many ways, that chronological order makes perfect sense, as the visitor/administrator can see at a glance the most-recent hit(s) at the top of the listing, without having to (sometimes) scroll down to the bottom of the window to see the newest entries.
However, and maybe it is just me that thinks this, but that reverse chronological order is not the easiest for my brain :o. The default reverse chronological order is similar to numbers being displayed as 987654321 instead of 12345678, and the alphabet being displayed as GFEDCBA instead of ABCDEFG ;D. So for the past 15 years that I've been using WebStat, when viewing Last Hits on my websites, I have always reversed the display, so that Last Hits shows the oldest hits for the day at the top, and the newest hits for the day at the bottom (in essence, 123456789), as shown in the right screenshot in the image above. Many times when there are a lot of entries for the day being displayed, I need to scroll down to the bottom of the window to see the most-recent entries, but I am OK with that, as the chronological time order makes more sense to my brain.
I don't know how many (if any) of your other WebStat users might like this option also, but I would like to suggest, if it is not too difficult for you, to add in a future release of WebStat an option (checkbox) in Last Hit's settings (Plugin Configuration) to have WebStat display the times in chronological order if the checkbox is checked, and to display the times as it is now (newest at the top) is the checkbox is NOT checked... or something similar.
Anyone else who uses the Last Hits plugin interested in this capability?
Thank you in advance for considering the above.
Tschüß and have yourselves a great day & weekend,
John
