Feature request: Search and sort in the device list

[teba99]

In nRF cloud, in the device list (https://app.nrfcloud.com/#/devices) it is difficult to manage larger number of devices because of lack of search and limited sorting.

I have not found a way to do these two things:

1. Search by device ID or name 

2. Sort by online state (online/offline, for example as shown by the green dot next to MQTT)

I would like to add these as feature requests for nRF Cloud.

Thanks!

Hi Terrence,

The nRF Cloud portal does support filtering devices by type, name, or ID. You can access this by selecting Device Management > Devices and then clicking Filter above the device table. From there, you can filter by device type, name, or ID, depending on the devices in your team. However, this is a filter rather than a free-text search. See here Filtering devices.

I can forward your request for an enhanced search and sorting by online state to the nRF Cloud team.

Regards,

Swathy

Hi Swathy,

Thanks for the quick reply. OK, I didn't realize the Filter function could be used for that. Because when I tried it, it doesn't work as expected: Sometimes, it finds all devices that match the substring, sometimes only one, and sometimes none at all -- even though without a filter I see the respective devices in the list directly below. And then, when I try it later, it gives me different results again,

So my feature request turns into a bug report ;-)
