[Enhancement Request] Sysinternals - do not move scroll bar when changing sort order
When I change the sort order of a column, or change which column to sort by, please do not move the scroll bar.
Example: sort by "Working set" and scroll to the top.
Working set is by default sorted descending.
The process with the largest working set is at the top of the list.
Click on working set to change the sort order.
Now it is sorted ascending.
The process with the smallest working set is at the top of the list.
However, the scroll bar is automatically moved to the bottom of the list.
I changed the sort order because I wanted to see the smallest processes.
This automatic movement of the scroll bar is contrary to my stated intent
to see the processes sorted by smallest to largest.
Same issue occurs when selecting a different column to sort by.
The scroll bar moves to keep the current selected process in view.
For example, I am currently scrolled to the top to see processes with largest working set.
Now I want to see processes using the most CPU, so I click on the CPU column to change the sort order.
Expected result: scroll remains at the top, showing the processes using the most CPU time.
Actual result: scroll changes to keep the same processes in view.
At the very least, this should be a selectable option:
[ ] Changing sort order keeps selected process in view.
This option could be on by default to keep the current behavior.
My use case would be supported by un-checking this option.
Please consider this enhancement.
Thank you and Best Regards,
