There is a push button labeled "Show only modified" in [[Special:Allmessages]] to toggle between displaying all or only modified messages. There is no visual feedback to indicate wheter all or only modified messages are shown (except the displayed table itself). Even worse: if only modified messages are shown already, the button still reads "Show only modified" suggesting this setting isn't active. Usually GUIs use a checkbox (or a "sticky" button) to toggle such a setting. On HTML pages push buttons are typically used to submit or reset a form or to perform any other single action, not to toggle a setting. Change this interface or provide a visual feedback in or close to the button for a better user experience.
Fixed with new Special:Allmessages paging/etc. Crappy JS sorting was removed in favor of radio buttons.
