Ordering options "Ascending" and "Descending" trigger opposite operations

Ricky-Tigg opened this issue · 1 comments

Hello. The selections of Ordering options Ascending and Descending trigger opposite operations. Then for example, Ascending option would have to be selected in order to obtain a presentation ordered by descending, therefore from strongest to weakest in respect to theoretical security strength.

Illustration with that filters combination applied: for Security select All, for TLS version select TLS v. 1.3. Resulting output:

Secure TLS_AES_128_CCM_8_SHA256
Secure TLS_AES_128_CCM_SHA256
Recommended TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
Recommended TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
Recommended TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
Insecure TLS_SHA256_SHA256
Insecure TLS_SHA384_SHA384
Insecure TLS_SM4_CCM_SM3
Insecure TLS_SM4_GCM_SM3

Hi there, thanks for raising this point. The options Ascending and Descending simply order the ciphersuites alphabetically. They do not indicate a security ranking. Such an ordering option would be a new feature.
