[🚀 Feature]: Please add "URI" to the list of sort-by choices on the grid overview page

[cdsontag]

Description

My project relies on the grid overview page (http://machine.name:4444/ui/) to troubleshoot our setup. We use nearly all Linux boxes with the same browser options and number of browsers on each. We definitely want to sort by the names of our machines. None of the sort-by choices are helpful to us. Please add URI as a sort-by choice, since the grid view knows the URI anyway.

Also, we have to sort by something or else the boxes for each node bounce around while the page is being updated.

Have you considered any alternatives or workarounds?

Yes. the other sort-by choices are not helpful to us.

Did you try the latest version of Grid?

[cdsontag]

Hi! Thanks for the quick response. Yes I am on 4.33.0. Your picture looks like the "sessions" view (localhost:4444/ui/sessions). I am talking about the "overview" view (localhost:4444/ui/). Want to sort the boxes there.

The "overview" page/view is important to us while we are setting up our grid to make sure that all of our nodes are working properly and connecting properly to the hub. We have a dozen nodes and soon maybe more.

Ah ok, it is the Overview. I have added those in another PR before, so I can update it.
But one point I saw "None of the sort-by choices are helpful to us". Besides URI, any other fields that you think can be useful?

That would be lovely! Thank you!

Nothing critical for us. But if you wanted to add another sort option, maybe sorting (on the Overview page) by the "number of sessions running" (or each node) would be interesting. But please don't let that block the sort by URI - thats our biggest want.
