// Upset about your watchlist being cluttered? // Keep missing edits to important articles/discussions? // Tried the Watchfilter but want to see all namespaces at once?

// Then this function is for you. It will (when placed in your monobook.js file): // Sort your watchlist by namespace, // Sort the namespaces by time of newest diff.

// Any comments/praises/bug reports/flames go to the author, Misza //WATCHLIST SORTER
