Another Field to Change the Display Order of Servers on the Dashboard
On the dashboard, server instances are currently ordered by two fields - Name or Severity which is selected via a drop down list. Can we have another field - Sort ID (int), to give users another way to sort? This field can either be hidden or displayed.

Hi Dean,
This is currently possible by setting an alias for an instance (hover over the righthand corner for a card, click the menu icon and select ‘Alias…’).
For example you might set:
1_AliasA
2_AliasB
Selecting ‘Order by Name’ in the drop down will then allow you to use this ordering within a group on the dashboard.
Alternatively you can pin instances to the top of the dashboard (hover over the righthand corner for a card, click the menu and select ‘Pin to top’).
I hope that helps.
