order of checkpointed snapshots is not chronological and not helpful #5118

Description

@Statick

the backup I'm running contains many large files. as a result the snapshot is getting maintenance checkpoints added every hour as these files remain incomplete when the maintenance happens. each checkpoint appears as a new snapshot in the list, but they all have the exact same "start time" in the column (showing when the actual snapshot was started), and they do not appear in any useful order. the one at the top is not the most recent one, and does not contain the most data. currently the only way to try to find the most recent one without navigating elsewhere is by looking at the size/number of files for each one, but even then there are several the same.

currently for me there are 6 identical looking snapshots which are the largest, and I have to open each one and look inside the most recent folders to see which one is the most "complete" (somehow they all show the same size and number of files in the list, even though one of them has a large file which is completed and the others show it as incomplete/checkpointed). the only way to really be sure of opening the most recent one is to exit the snapshot pane and go to the task pane, and look in the log to see the ID of the most recent checkpoint, memorise that, then go back to the snapshot pane and find the checkpoint with the matching ID.

please can something be done to make sure these snapshot checkpoints appear in chronological order so that the top snapshot always contains the greatest amount of restorable data. perhaps change the appearance of the checkpoints, or show an icon next to them, so they appear different from the actual snapshots, and show the checkpoint time instead of the checkpoint start time on these ones?
