That is a static page (non wiki) so would need to find a script to do it nicely. Probably might be easier if so desired to instead of having that auto generated page, have a bot output the details onto a wiki.

Is the code which creates this page included in the source repository? I might take a look at it.

Looking at the repo mentioned (operations/dumps), I'm not sure backup-index.html comes from there (cf. https://git.wikimedia.org/tree/operations%2Fdumps/bf268a25cf5556df6cb3dc98db539145cef5677e).

This bug may be a dependency of bug 52055. Ariel would know for sure.

I have added a link to 'sorted by wiki name' which will show up in a few hours on our servers. Is this sufficient for your needs?

I'd still personally prefer a sortable table. :-) If we can point to a specific code repo, I think making this index page a single HTML file that's a sortable table would be a fairly good programming exercise for a beginning programmer (i.e., could use the "easy" keyword).

As long as sortable doesn't mean "needs javascript" I'm fine with that, except that I would prefer css be used to make the layout more table-like rather than usin actual html tables.

See modules/snapshot/files/dumps/templates/progress.html
in the operations puppet git repo if you know someone interested. In the meantime I'm going to leave this change in place, since it does give a second sort order for those who wanted it.
