Add support for grouping, ordering, and column sets to default queries

[scottb@…]

In the trac.ini file there's options for the default query strings:

[query] 
default_anonymous_query = status!=closed&cc~=$USER 
default_query = status!=closed&owner=$USER 

I'd like to see support for grouping, ordering, and column options added for these default queries. For example something like

default_query = status!=closed&owner=$USER&group=status&order=priority&col=id|summary|type 
  or
default_query = status!=closed&owner=$USER&group=status&order=priority&col=id&col=summary&col=type

Right, this should also support grouping and specifying the columns to be complete.

I'd like to see this also, if possible. It's odd that ordering seems to work from a query:order=summary style link, but not from default_query. That suggests maybe there could be better code reuse?

I am also waiting for this to be implemented.

okay, I don't know why you can't see the patch if you click on it, but if you download it it works.

it's patched against .11-stable.

No it's not a proper patch:

Besides your added code contains a mix of space and tabs, please don't use tabs (see PEP:0008, look for Tabs or Spaces?).

well, here it cleaned up. this time i patched it against trunk.

it's definitely sort of hacky - there's problems with the "rows" vs "row" in the query language vs. the request, and i'm not sure that "faking" request arguments is really the best approach here. It seemed like the least involved.

The point being - you should definitely view this as a starting point, and not something final. I hacked it in because I needed the functionality, and I thought I'd share.
