Sort by name alphabetically desc in all views by default.

While clicking on the name column to sort is just a minor inconvenience imho sorting by default results in a better user experience.

Please provide more detail. What specific views would you change?

I don't know which views are affected. I noticed when I was adding our datacenters like (DC4, DC5, DC3) and they were sorted like that instead of (DC3, DC4, DC5) in the Sites view.

If I add three sites named DC3, DC4, and DC5, they show up in order as expected. This should be the case for all sites. Which version of NetBox are you running?

Argh, I named the first two DC4/DC5 and the third one "DC3 / Something". Of course it is sorted after the first two then.

Sorry, closing…
