I believe this is entirely done in
wwwdocs/gnatsweb/cgi-bin.pl:by_field, which in turn is made available
through the table headers (and could be entered into the URL by
adding, say, &sortby=Class).

I'm not a perl hacker, so again, anybody willing to contribute is
encouraged to do so. The easiest thing may be to add new sortby
criteria: PRR, CategoryR, etc, and put appropriate links into the
table headers. If anybody wants to tackle this, allowing to specify
the sort order in the query may be also useful.

Martin
