Maybe this is not the best place to put this but the wiki description for "Switches" -> "Sort by Age" is a little misleading in my opinion.

When you use a server with a low retention time, you can choose to download the oldest parts of a job first. This way you have more chance on completing the download.

I do believe after I checked this box the whole QUEUE was resorted.  I interpreted a job to be a single nzb entry in the queue and "parts" of each job would be rearranged relative to each part's age within a job, not all the jobs rearranged relative to each other.
Somewhat maddening results considering I have not found a way to rearrange jobs in queue without the queue updating after every movement and the page reloading at the top of the queue. 

Using 0.4.9

OFF TOPIC: Is there a different front-end that lets you sort the queue "offline" and then do a batch submit, or some way to not have to submit each change one at a time?

The auto-sort switch does sorting within a single download job.
At least that is the intention.
The sort buttons on the queue page work different, they work on full jobs.

Don't know all the details from the top of my head, I'll get back to you.
