IDN Search: Account Activity - Why sort by Status by default?

Hello SailPoint IDN Team,

What is the reasoning of sorting by Status by default under “Account Activity”.
Sorting descending by “Last Modified” seems to be more appropriate, as you probably want to see the last activity (similar to the other tabs).

Seeing the newest results requires two extra clicks on the “Last Modified” column header .

This is likely optimizing for admins who need to take action on items as opposed to admins who need to do audit reporting. You can try submitting an idea in the ideas portal for a feature that allows you to save y our preferred default sort.

Hi @colin_mckibben, thanks for your reply.

This is likely optimizing for admins who need to take action

This may be (partially) the case, but even if the issue is fixed afterwards, the “Incomplete” action still appears at the top, right?

And if the search is optimized for such admins, shouldn’t the Events view have the same optimization? (Please don’t change it, just wondering).

If we sort by Status (and we have just two values there, Complete/Incomplete), it would be nice to have a second sorting column by default, like Last Activity. Currently the order of Complete actions seems to be random.
The search API (search-post | SailPoint Developer Community) supports sorting by multiple columns so the required change would be just to add another column to the sort array attribute (and of course testing etc).

  "sort": [
    "-status",
    "-modified"
  ],

Best regards,
Andrei
