I propose you to adopt this requirement/feature. There is no way to configure how to display latest tickets . The code below from controllers/latest.php does not take any parameters. At least status and order direction should be parameters in backend. Below is our patch to achieve what we need.

// Convince the model to sort on date, descending and filter on my tickets
$this->getThisModel()
->enabled(1)
->public('')
->category(0)
->categories($categories)
->status('O,P')
->filterNewest(1)
->filter_order_Dir('DESC')
// We have to explicitly fecth data from the request, otherwise when we try to get to the first page
// (no param), the model will fetch it from the session, getting us sutcked in the current page
->limitstart($this->input->getInt('limitstart', 0))
;

Thanks for a great component!

This is by design. The idea is to give you a prioritised list of open tickets. In other words, this is your to-do list: tickets in need of an answer, displayed in a FIFO order. This is why the view is called "Latest open tickets" not "Any status tickets with arbitrary ordering".

OK , got it. One thing though . In the list I dont see the priority. It is not only the date that is important to me working with tickets, also set priority from ticket creation. I cant find priority in any view except "new ticket". Is that right?

It's the arrows next to the title. Up arrow: high priority. Down arrow: low priority. No arrow: normal priority :)

Thanks , but my users putting tickets dont know this. And I cant find any explanation anywhere about the meaning. And no icon tooltips in the list, but there are such in the ticket form. The ticket priority icon is intensionally not shown in form also together with other "icons"?

I need a good documentation of all icons used in the component fronend. I need to explain this to users. I can do the icon list myself but its hard to find out the explanation.

I have two questions:

Why would a user need to see the priority of their ticket when they've set it themselves? The priority is something for your staff to prioritize their work.

Also, which form are you talking about? The ticket priority is shown in the latest open tickets view. The reply form is just a text area for your reply and the controls for time tracking and file uploads, the same one used everywhere you can post a reply to a ticket.
