Break date/time into a separate column in Comments views

[markel]

Now that column sorting is in, it makes sense to break the date and time a comment was made into a separate column in the Comments view so they can be sorted chronologically.

Currently, the time is part of the content column, which can be confusing as if someone sorts by that column it becomes an alphabetical sort.

Breaks out the submitted on text to its own sortable column

Made a quick patch that breaks out the "submitted on" text to its own sortable column. I debated creating a view link or keeping the date link clicakble but ended up keeping the date clickable. Also updated the inline help docs.

Replying to JohnONolan:

Screenshot attached. As I mentioned we could also add a view link if we don't want the date linked still. Let me know and I can do another patch.

I like it in principle but think it might be too big of a UI change for this stage in the 3.1 cycle - translations and RTL need to be considered in particular.

This is an enhancement, not a bug, so I would suggest punting to 3.2

Agreed.

I think this is a good idea in principle as well. Would still like to see this in a Future Release.

The patch needs a bit of a refresh (fails at a few hunks for me. It adds the new column, but does not make it sortable).

Adding column fine by me.

Can you break it into two lines:

current format "{date} at {time}"

new format "{date} <br /> {time}"
