Winbox4 - sort by comment/name? Can't find my routers!

RouterOS General
1

I'm not sure what it is - I don't have Winbox3 available to me right now after being sort of forced to use Winbox4.

but.. I have quite a few devices saved. Maybe ~60 - 70 routers.

On Winbox 3 I could easily see them by name/comment. but on Winbox 4 I can't!

I don't know if it was in a separate column, or just stood out more, or what, but I am finding it really hard to locate a specific router within my list.

Now that I think about it, I think it was split into sections of groups - and most of mine are in groups, but a handful not, and then it was sorted by comment within the groups.

but I can't see comment as a sortable field at all in Winbox 4.

I think you need to go to settings and set comment type to column. Then you get the comments as a separate, sortable column.

ahh, thank you.

so it's the same as while inside Winbox normally (like, interfaces view).

I should have known I suppose!

All good - thank you :slight_smile:

In the current WinBox 4.3 you can't change that setting per table, instead of making it globally the same for all tables:

The grouping (Show Categories) is not yet implemented in WinBox 4 though.
