After revamping the Session menu Indicator last week, the Ubuntu developers added sorting support to the multiple time zones function in the Date and Time Indicator of the upcoming Ubuntu 12.10 operating system. Therefore, users who have added multiple time zones can now easily sort them by name or by time, accessing the “Time & Date Settings – Clock tab – Choose Locations” dialog. Moreover, it appears that a new function has been added to the Date and Time Indicator, called Time in auto-detected location, which if checked will automatically insert the current location of the Ubuntu machine.
