There are 0 votes so far. Votes easily highlight which items people would like to see resolved in priority, independently of the priority of the item set by tracker managers.
Since this method replaces the use of the program sort(1) with the use of the library function qsort(3) - are there any implications for the size of filesystems that find will work on? (I can't see any immediately, because we already use savedir()).
I haven't applied the patch, but it looks to me like we don't use qsort on the whole output - is the sorting we do for "-sort" actually equivalent to passing the whole output through "sort"?
