Is there any way to sort tasks by report deadline? I seem to remember some type of sort button on a previous version. Now using 6.10.18

Just click on the "column heading" you want to sort by .....

Any way to change from Euro style to Americanized? Example: Todays date reads 03-04-10 instead of 04-03-10.

Just change the language in English (U.S) in Boinc Manager -> Advanced -> Options.

I just ran a quick experiment and sure enough it worked. Running manager ver 6.10.18 (but I'm sure it's the same for others), and assuming you are running Windows, the manager displays whatever you have selected in your Regional and Language Options.

For me using Win XP 64-bit ....

Control Panel/Regional and Language Options/Customize

Select the DATE Tab and change your Short Date Format to what you want.

Was alredy on English (US) but re-clicked it anyway and got no change. Also tried clicking the tab mentioned earlier in tnis thread----still nothing.

Did you stop and re-start BoincManager after your changes?

I dont think I really changed anything. I closed the manager but I didnt exit. Will try that later and see if it helps.

Is there a way to have the BOINC mgr. show CPU time instead of elapsed time? Have tried clicking at the top of the column as I was shown earlier in this thread to change the report deadline, but no luck.

In older versions of BOINC Manager the CPU time was shown, now only elapsed time, but by clicking a task, on the left site the button 'Properties' change to active and there you can see the CPU-time and other usefull information of the clicked task.

You could also give BoincTasks a try.
Both cpu and elapsed time are shown.
BoincTasks is a very nice utility to manage more BOINC crunching computers.
The only thing I miss there atm is read config file from the Advanced tab.

With clicking the column heading, you change the sort order, not the content. By clicking between headings and dragging, you could expand hidden columns, but in this case, it won't work, because the CPU-time column doesn't exist any longer.
