ACS Printer Output Date Time enhancement

In IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS), Printer Output module, the creation date and time are separate columns. Also, the date and time are being translated to another timezone and do not match the create date and time on the wrksplf application.
I propose combining the date and time into a single date and time field which would make clicking on the column heading and sorting much easier. Also propose that the date and time not be translated to any timezone. They should match the date and time created when viewing the spool file attributes in the wrksplf screen. Also propose that the initial display of the printer output be in timestamp order descending so that the latest spool files appear first.


Use Case:

Users looking for spool files are going to most likely be looking for spool files they just created. Opening or refreshing the list will show their recently created spool files right at the top. If they want to sort the list by any other columns they can do so and also include the date/time as a secondary sort.
