I'm running the BOINC client 5.10.30 under Windows XP Pro. I've attached to thirteen different projects, which currently have nineteen different tasks. Of course, the deadlines for these tasks are all over the calendar/clock. I would like to run them in order, so that those with the earliest deadlines are completed first. I can, of course, suspend the ones that I don't wish to run immediately. However, in grid view, Tasks tab, when I click the "Report deadline" column header to sort the tasks by deadline, they do not sort correctly because the times are in 12 hour format. They need to be in 24 hour format to sort properly. Can this be changed? Better still, is there any way to make BOINC pay attention to the deadlines and run only the task having the earliest deadline?

No.
If BOINC prioritised according to deadline, then some projects would never run. BOINC is smarter than that. It will juggle weights and deadlines to achieve the balance you want and make all its deadlines (barring exceptional circumstances). If BOINC determines that it is going to miss some deadlines, THEN it will work on the earliest deadline first, in order to minimise the problem. I thought the 12/24 hour thing had been fixed. That said, I think it picks up the setting from your locale, so set Windows to use 24 hour times, and that may be a workaround. |

Thanks. Changing Windows' time to 24 hour format solved the problem.
