Here's a prototype showing how the column sort would work.

Ideally, all columns on the list view would be sortable. We can have one column be sorted by default, perhaps either start time or severity. The column that is sorted by default would show the sort arrow. The rest of the arrows would be visible on hover. Only one column could be sorted at a time.
