Sorting columns on finance.google.com doesn't work

• Component: Evangelism
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Steven Canfield]

You must have created a google account and set up at least 2 stocks in your portfolio to do this.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Log in to google.
2. Go to finance.google.com/finance
3. Click on Portfolios
4. Add a stock.
5. Add a second stock. 
6. Click on the column headings (such as Symbol or Name).

Expected Result: The columns would sort based on your click.

Actual Result: Nothing happens.

Confirmed.  This page works when spoofing as FIrefox 2.0.0.2.  See Bug 16840.

Is there anything I can do on the "evangelism" front? I'd like to help get this bug knocked away.

The fastest way to get this fixed is to notify the employee at Google responsible for finance.google.com, or if they have an internal Safari evangelist, to notify that person.

Second best would be to ask someone you know that works at Google to find said employees and forward a message or open a bug on their internal bug tracking tool.

Third option would be to use Google public forums (on groups.google.com?) to post information about the issue and linking back to this bug.  Such a post may get noticed by the correct people there, and eventually get fixed.

Above all, when you do contact someone, be as courteous, polite and helpful as possible.

Yesterday I opened a bug report on http://www.google.com/support/finance/bin/request.py.

This appears to work now.  Please reopen the bug if you still see the same issue.
