While I understand that nginx's author probably wants the dir indexing module to be minimal, I guess it doesn't hurt to add these small features as optional directives


1. Enable or disable column header sorting (by name, last modified, size)

2. Display file size in 2 decimal places (eg 30.52 MB, 1.34 GB) when autoindex_exact_size is off


I realize there is 3rd party dir indexing module that does a lot more than nginx's AutoIndex but I just need these 2 extra features on top of nginx's AutoIndex

A preliminary patch for (1) sorting can be found on

"preliminary" because no headers are added, you can use URL params though.

Whenever possible, you should try on one pair of a table to create a unique clustered index to enhance query operation ... you can also choose the index is clustered or non-clustered. After saving the table information, the index will automatically be created.
