This is a feature I am missing in FET
It is found in many applications as standart, including file browers, OpenOffice Calc...
the feature is "sort by column"
it enbales user to easily sort data located in rows
like this (if you click Name, Location, size... files are sorted accordingly in alphapetical order
The sort direction changes between ascending order and descending order each time you press the column header button)

FET has a statistics menu
it is very handfull, for checking data , but it would be even more usefull if there is a "sort by column" capability

In activities window, "sort by column" is the most usefull, because, there is more rows and data
I would like to sort by
-T, teacher
-St, students set
S, subject
Id,
TD, total duration
D, duration
.etc
This way, I can filter activities by subjet, then sort them out by SStudent set or Teachers...etc to easily apply a change, or edits...etc
Colors are not important, I added them to screenshot only to show columns

Here is a link to Microsoft page related to this feature
How to: Sort a GridView Column When a Header Is Clicked
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms745786.aspx
They talk about c# and XAML
Unforunatlly, my programing skills are near null :-[
Interesting proposal, I'll think about it, but I cannot promise anything.
It is possible in activities and (some?) special constraints dialoges.
but i think it is impossible in the "all time/space constrains" dialoge.
