Need to sort active RDP sessions alphabetically when clicking the button to connect to the terminal server. It is not convenient to scroll through the list if there are a large number of sessions.

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

When I click connect, the list of sessions should be sorted by username - alphabetically. Or there should be a button that allows you to sort this list.

im assuming your list looks like below and you only want to sort it by the username and not including the hostname?
(can you share example screenshot?)
BEFORE:

Connected, Console
Active, RDP-Tcp#0 - ACFTP2022/Administrator
Active, RDP-Tcp#1 - ACFTP2022/User1
Active, RDP-Tcp#2 - ACFTP2022/Fred
Active, RDP-Tcp#3 - ACFTP2022/User2
Active, RDP-Tcp#4 - ACFTP2022/Jones

AFTER:

Connected, Console
Active, RDP-Tcp#0 - ACFTP2022/Administrator
Active, RDP-Tcp#2 - ACFTP2022/Fred
Active, RDP-Tcp#4 - ACFTP2022/Jones
Active, RDP-Tcp#1 - ACFTP2022/User1
Active, RDP-Tcp#3 - ACFTP2022/User2

Yes, that's exactly right

Ok! So I'll do a value u can set inside if your domains section in config.json
So u can say sort by terminal id OR sort my username or none!
As ur screenshot shows both the username and the terminal id as not sorted haha

I'm guessing its listing them by most recent activity first

[SMART-ALEX-T]

Thank you, this will be what we need

[si458]

ok ive added an option called userSessionsSort under the domains section of config.json
so this will apply to all users in per domain basis!

Arange the Connect sessions offered when multiple Terminal Sessions are present by 'SessionId', 'StationName' or 'Username' with 'SessionId' as the default sorting criteria.

[SMART-ALEX-T]

Unfortunately, the sessions are not sorted.

i have only just merged it!
so you have to wait for a new release,
OR
stop meshcentral, npm install Ylianst/MeshCentral, start meshcentral - NPM
OR
image: ghcr.io/ylianst/meshcentral:master DOCKER

p.s. anything with an _ in front of it is ignored! so you should be using "userSessionsSort": "Username"

Thank you very much! Now everything works. :)

@SMART-ALEX-T just be aware,
using those install methods above, basically latch onto the LATEST code in the master repo,
so the could be bugs/issues! but if you spot things, do open new issues and report them :)

p.s. can u share screenshots of it working hehe, would be nice to see its all ok

Certainly)
