Details:
A user at Savannah had "digest>" as a tracker prefererence
(preference_name="bugs_browse_order509").
I suppose this came from an old configuration, but maybe it can be reproduced
with the current version of Savane.
So, the item list was empty. To unblock the situation you actually and simply
could click on a field name and override the sort order. BUT, you needed to
find the trick, I only find it after impersonnating the account and debugging
the code ;)
This raises 2 concerns:
1) Do you think there are other fields that got outdated in the user
preferences, and could be difficult or even impossible to set back to valid
values? Maybe some script in updates/ would be needed.
2) The list was empty because the SQL command failed (I got "Unknown column
'digest' in 'order clause'" when manually entering it in the MySQL prompt).
We would need some error handling code to display this error to the sysadmin,
or at least notify the user that an error was detected.
