An update on Tonight's Sky. Nor noticed my suggestion you try it and we've exchanged a few emails.

Contrary to what I'd said it does work properly across midnight.

I think what I was thinking about is it can't sort in transit time order.

Say RA at sunset was a bit after 20 and RA just after 4 at dawn. RA sort will go 0, 1, 3, 4, 20, 21, 22, 23. Transit time sort would have RA go 20, 21, 22, 23, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.

Nor said he'd look at being able to sort by transit time, but no promises on when. He calculates transit when an object is selected, so it is not available as a sort key.
