I think it would be more logical if jobs without a scheduled start time were sorted as if they are expected to start AFTER jobs with a scheduled start time, rather than before.

This bug seems to be private by default? Why? Also, I can't seem to change the visibility of the bug. Why not - am I not in the right group?
Comment 3 Luke Yeager 2020-08-12 09:38:45 MDT 
I've changed my email to use my corporate one. But it looks like I'm not in the right group because I still can't make bug 9569 public. Can you make sure I'm in the right group? Thanks.
Comment 4 Carl Ponder 2020-08-12 09:43:28 MDT 
I have access to the bug now. I'm not sure how it got enabled.

Hi Luke 

I will have Colby work with you on this issue going forward.

>This bug seems to be private by default? Why? Also, I can't seem to change the visibility of the bug. Why not - am I not in the right group?

That was my fault. In our last conversation with Nvidia, we talked about having a security group for your site's bugs. I have removed the security group from the other bug.

This was discussed in email and on our last call briefly. The security groups have to have users added manually so when you create a new account then I or one of the other admins will need to go in and flag that user as part of Nvidia's security group. Michael Knox can also do this since that contact is the primary contact and also has the privileges to add or remove users via Bugzilla for Nvidia.

Hey Luke,

Now that security stuff got figured out. Lemme dig through the code and whats goin on.

Update:
Currently debugging the logic on moving zero to the bottom.

With commit https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/commit/b8737e53e41e19dd926f03f41f7e13b8a139f9ee

N/A now appears after jobs with start times when sorting by start time in all situations.
