Can't sort by all columns in tree view

I have noticed that what I display my results in the tree view, the results can only be sorted by 'Time with children', but no other columns.

Is this By Design?

BTW, a really *great* job - keep up the good work.

Martin.

    Hi Martin,

    not being able to sort the other columns in the Tree View is by design. Having that ability just didn't work very well in terms of adding any valuable information.

    For example Hit Count is a completely arbitrary measure. Methods can be hit once or millions of times. The only performance measure that makes sense when interpreting stack trace information is the time spent in a method and its children because it shows you quite clearly where in the call stacks the time is being spent. You can then look at the hit count to see if there's any correlation to a methods performance which may or may not be true.

    Glad you like the new version!

    Stephen
