Request modification of existing behavior or design

What is the problem that your feature request solves

To use archivebox as a means to save websites for viewing offline, it's hard to find the content that is actually usable.
The main view shows a list of every URL known, but most of these are not loadable. I had to click next page 13 times to get to some that were. I need a way to at least see a short list of content I can actually view.

Describe the ideal specific solution you'd want, and whether it fits into any broader scope of changes

option to sort links view by local availability

What hacks or alternative solutions have you tried to solve the problem?

manually searching... but it isn't worth it

How badly do you want this new feature?

It's an urgent deal-breaker, I can't live without it
It's important to add it in the near-mid term future
It would be nice to have eventually

I'm willing to contribute dev time / money to fix this issue
I like ArchiveBox so far / would recommend it to a friend
I've had a lot of difficulty getting ArchiveBox set up

Why are they not visible? Most of the content should be usable, if more than 10% of your sites are failing to archive then there are bigger problems that a sort column alone won't fix.

I stopped it because it had downloaded more of a site than I needed (but still not some parts that I actually wanted...) I was just trying to figure out how it was working and wether it could actually be useful to me
