Sort Global Node Status by Site by Caption instead of NodeID?

bobross

We have an EOC setup with ~50 Solarwinds servers attached to it.  Currently, the Global Node Status by Site module is set to Group Nodes by Level 1 - Orion.  That is the only grouping.

Unfortunately, this causes all the nodes under that server to be sorted by NodeID.  We'd like to have the nodes sorted by Node Caption (name) alphabetically to help in finding a device quicker.

I've looked at the documentation for SWQL queries, but only basic filtering is covered.  I've also tried some basic SQL style SORT queries and Node.Caption, but that doesn't seem to work at all.

Adding Level 2 - Node does sort alphabetically, but requires an additional tree level in order to work right and is just plain ugly.

Any help is appreciated on this.

Currently using the Node option under Level 2 sorting is the only option to sort alphabetically. Since the filter is SWQL, I cannot set up a SQL Order By statement for the node names.
