We can probably spend weeks to re-arrange the links in one way or
another.  Since people will probably have arguments for either
the current order or the one you propose, do we really need to
spend all the time it will probably take to re-arrange the links?

Searching the problem reports is important.  Viewing all open bug
reports is also important.  How are we to choose between one of
these two link orders? :-/

I appreciate what you are saying, although I would question the need for
a "Show all open PRs" link, which currently returns summaries for 5347
open PRs in 990k of HTML - I suspect the majority of people accessing it
don't actually need to, to or would be much better served by the search
function.  Removing this unnecessary load may even go someway towards
reducing the number of times I see "The PR database is busy at the
moment" messages, although I appreciate it may not be related.

I don't care enough about this to fight for it though, so if you
genuinely don't see any benefit in making this change then feel free to
ignore it.

Thanks,

Gavin

Well, the query-pr script has been changed so the mentioned page 
needs some fixes. As this PR is related, take it.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

I merged three links on this page, which referred to the same form. 
This is not exactly, what you proposed, but it solves your problem 
and the list is more clear now. You will notice the change after some hours, 
when the webpages have been rebuilt. Thanks for your problem report!
