Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: Joomla! 2.5.6 Stable [ Ember ] 19-June-2012 14:00 GMT
PHP version: 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.11
MySQL version: 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10
Host: gr7.org
Admin Tools version: 2.2.9

Description of my issue:

I have some problems with the Security-Exception-Log-Page. Several are probably bugs others are missing features or perhaps unlucky implementations.
1) When I open the page the entries are not in chronological order, nor in order of input. I always have to click on Date to see my last entries.
2) When I select a Reason from the pull-down, select an entry and click on Add to Blacklist the page is actualized and the pull-down is reset to default. Therefore when I have to put some entries to / from the blacklist I have to select each time first the pull-down and do the whole thing x-times.
3) As an additional feature you could add above to the actions which could be done on marked entries (now there is only remove): Add to Blacklist and Remove from Blacklist
4) Not a bug but not very nice: The layout of the lines to enter values to date, IP, reason and target is pretty bad. You should have a look on your css for this page. See my attached screen-foto.

I hope you find my hints helpful!

1. Entries are sorted by ID ascending, meaning the oldest entry is first. I will change it for the next version to sort by date descending by default, which is probably what you want.

2. That's an issue with the framework, to be fixed in the next release

3. There is a long reason why this is not implemented. It suffices to say that if I did that it would cause performance issues.

4. There is no attachment on your message. Anyway, the layout is just fine. See my screenshot. If your layout differs, try clearing your browser's cache.
