Ability to sort the LAN setup list in Netgear genie.
I use the Netgear genie software on an HP Envy Phoenix Desktop computer running Windows 10 with Mozilla Firefox browser version 50.1.0 and R8000 Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Smart WiFi router. I have a long list of items in the LAN setup (Advanced tab --> Setup --> LAN Setup). I cannot sort the list by IP Address or MAC Address or Device Name. I can sort this list in Access Control (Advanced tab --> Security --> Access Control), but it is not the full list of items for which I have reserved IP addresses. When I make a change to any item in the LAN Setup, it goes to the bottom of the list. I have 45 items in the list now and I want to sort them to facilitate finding an item in the list. When an item shows up in the Access Control list, I check the LAN Setup list before allowing the item to connect. I have to search through all the MAC adresses which is tedious. It would be much better if I could sort the list first. I am using Netgear genie Firmware Version V1.0.3.26_1.1.18. .How can I sort the LAN setup list in Netgear genie?

It seems such a basic feature to have that I feel I must have missed something in how I am using the software.
C6300 LAN Setup Address Reservation bug
Netgear Genie on my C6300 firmware V1.02.19 has a bug in the address reservation logic. The initial Lan Setup screen shows the reserved devices. In some instance when you press Add (to reserve a new address) you get the status bar saying Updating Settings and then an error message saying something like "server received no data" (like it expected to add an address when nothing was selected). When this occurs, you can instead select any one of the devices listed (even though it has nothing to do with the new device to be added) and press Add, and the subsequent screen presents you with a list of all known devices and you can successfully add a device from this screen. Another probably related bug is that it tries to update settings without anything to do (probably because nothing was selected from the initial list). Finally figured out I could select any one of the devices on the initial screen to get past this, but not after an aggravating and useless phone call to your support line.
