User:Misza13/Scripts/Watchlist sorter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

• Upset about your watchlist being cluttered?
• Keep missing edits to important articles/discussions?
• Tried the Watchfilter but want to see all namespaces at once?

Then this function is for you. It will (when placed in your monobook.js file):

• Sort your watchlist by namespace,
• Sort the namespaces by time of newest diff.

Any comments/praises/bug reports/flames go to the author, Misza13 ^{T C} 16:48, 25 March 2006 (UTC).
