This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

I'm not sure why all the negativity here, but the simple ability to order the WRKSPLF/WRKOUTQ output by Creation Timestamp DESCENDING ORDER is improtant. Many, many shops do not permit end-users to access the "PRINT" interfaces of ACS. Simple because someone thinks that's who it should be done, doesn't mean the Mgt at Companies care to be controlled. They want the existing interface to work better.
As for the youtube video, thanks, I already know how to use APIs to accomplish what I need and have been doing that for decades. However, since no one in the IBM i marketplace buys software, the justification to continue to develop new interfaces for the Comminity doesn't exist. Thus, IBM has to do it. Thank you for your feedback.
The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM not implement this request.
The Printer Output in ACS already exists. For more information review comment above.
Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.

Hi, if I have understood your idea correctly, then already how the ACS "Printer Output" function works, this will also all you to filter, change sort and even select multiple items for deletion.
There is an example of this in the video below:
