Thanks :-)

Count me in that "us" ;-\

Don't know if different people ran it or not. But it is simply that one has
a different file name, from an old run, and the table is sorted strictly on
the file name of the results.

I've been trying to figure out a good way to show that some test are newer
than others, because sorting by date is not possible, and I like that
suggestion very much :-]  I'd prefer a bit more granularity than you suggest
though. How'bout this:

    GREEN -- tests ran in the last 48 hours.
    YELLOW -- tests ran in the last 7 days.
    RED -- tests ran in the last 14 days.
    BLACK -- tests are older than 14 days.
