Hi,

I'm using Nessus 3.2.0 on Debian (lenny).

I much prefer the old HTML format to the new one as it has nice hyperlinks
to hosts and is generally easier to browse than viewing in NessusClient or
looking at the newer (no hyperlinks for hosts or ports) HTML format.

What I do to accomplish this is export my reports as NBE format and I use
nessus on command line like:

/opt/nessus/bin/nessus -i report_input.nbe -o report_output.html

This gives me the format I want (old HTML style) in report_output.html, but
for whatever reason, this conversion jumbles the order of the hosts even
though inside NessusClient, the report shows the hosts in sequential order.

Example inside NessusClient:

192.168.1.100
192.168.1.101
192.168.2.1
192.168.3.8

When I convert a report ilke that from NBE to the old HTML format, I get a
random order like:

192.168.2.1
192.168.1.101
192.168.3.8
192.168.1.100

This gives me trouble with larger scans, as many hosts are grouped logically
by OS or application, and it becomes cumbersome to view and test the results
when all the hosts are out of order.

Is there any way to work around this so I can 1) still export to the "old"
HTML format that has hyperlinks and 2) retains the order in the original
NessusClient report (the one you see when you load a saved .nessus file) ?

Any chance the filtering features in Nessus 3.2.1 will let me get around
this? I absolutely despise the newer HTML format, it's very flat and hard to
navigate when you have a lot of hosts in a report. The hyperlinks make for a
much better interface!

Thanks.
