Yesterday I was working on Buro cards.  
I use the 'Previous QSOs' page to lookup, confirm and make labels for 
the incoming cards.

The problem I have is the  'Date & Time' column is not sorted by Date & 
Time.
There are some of the contest stations that I have worked and have over 
100 qso's with and they seem to QSL every contact.  So finding the exact 
qso is a sequence search for me through all the qso's.  My log go's back 
to 1989.
I wonder what the 'order by' for the query that retrieves the list of 
previous QSO's?

The 2nd problem I had was with SWL cards.  The Commands within the 
Previous QSOs page has a SWL Reply.
This is really nice to  have but when I entered several OK SWL station, 
OK1-3453, the label generated cut off the '-' and the rest of the 
callsign.  So I had to go into the labels and manual add the rest of the 
callsign.
So either have a data check when I enter the SWL callsign telling me I 
can not have the '-' or fix the insert no to remove the '-' and the rest 
of the callsign.

These are both little things and should already be on list.  Just would 
make life easier.
