Enhance the event table

Let's say i have 20+ IBMi systems all under the same zone.
I have a filter within the Event page that only show me my IBMi Zone, and the table is really hard to read because:
- "On" always shows the sensor name (which can be like Active jobs on..., Message queue information on...), so it makes it hard to understand which is the system that is generating the event.
- Sorting the columns seems like counter intuitive, what i would be looking for in most of the time is active events AND sorted in descending order by start time, but seems like i can only do one at a time (which can result in a mess if you have 10+ active events)
- Column width can't be adjusted


What could make it better in my opinion:
-Adding the triggering agent as an additional column would make it simpler to read, using only FDQ means i need to type in filter all the time.
-Possibility to manipulate the events in multiple ways (e.g. as above, sort by active and start desc)
-Make the column width manually adjustable, with also the possibility to add/remove columns (e.g. to make room for long event names or remove unwanted information?)

    While we are working on an improved data table to display the events, the breadth of this idea wouldn't be cover entirely.
    Sorting, filtering and column customization should become significantly simpler in the near future. We will consider adding customized column width as well, though this is not currently planned.

    The triggering entity might also be added as a placeholder in case of smart alerts into the alert title (and description) if the alert is grouped by it which should help better identify alert sources in the Event page, as well as in the alert notification directly.
