Hi Mehrdad,

Thanks for the report. Yes, this sorting on the job files tab is a bit specific.

Sorting by mtime and by size requires a bit more time than sorting by
file. If a job contains many files then this mtime and size sorting
request can time out and the sorting can not work.

You mentioned that you set up a new server. It can also have meaning
if it has different parameters than the original server.

I would propose to do a quick test to check if it is this case. Could
you try to use this function with a job containing a bit smaller
number of files than this job causing a problem. Is it working now?
