Description

Here is a minor issue.

I had an issue w/ crashing servers. The servers were auto-restarted on crash.

To find the crashing servers, I was sorting on the 'Start time' column in the Master UI. This basically worked but the sort is unreliable as the date we display starts with days-of-the-week.

This issue is about moving to display start time in iso8601 which is sortable (and occupies less real estate). Let me add some images.
