#15520 closed enhancement (fixed)

Break date/time into a separate column in Comments views

Description

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.

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 please

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

  • Keywords 3.2-early added

Agreed.

  • Keywords needs-refresh added; 2nd-opinion 3.2-early removed

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).

  • Keywords has-patch ux-feedback removed

Adding column fine by me.

#14 @ramiy

Can you break it into two lines:

current format "{date} at {time}"

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

In 34504:

Comments: add date column to WP_Comments_List_Table to allow sorting and to break out the date/time from the comment content column.

Props jshreve.
Fixes #15520.

In 35771:

Make comment screen row actions focusable

In [34504], tabbing through row actions on comments that lacked links was broken. This restores the desired behavior and ensures that the row actions can be seen by no-js users.
