	outside of business hours	
	- The background processing (sending email, checking email,
	archiving tickets, etc) will now take place one of three ways:
	  * It can be called with a cron job to
	    scripts/backgroundprocess.php
	  * It can be called via the API from an external source or using
            wget
	  * If it has not been called one of the previous ways within 15
            minutes, it will be run after each rep.php, help.php or
	    api.php call.
        It is suggested that one of the first two methods be employed to
	improve the performance for the user.
	- Sorting is now working on the dashboard.
