What version are you running?
    1.0.5.1

What's the URL of the page this enhancement relates to, if any?
    /dashboard/

Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.

    The dashboard page seems to be intended as an 'action item' list of sorts for an individual 
reviewer. It seems like it would be useful to show any pending reviews at the top of this list. 
Reviewers may want to resume work on these pending reviews before starting a new review. The 
pending review list could be a separate table, or perhaps the dashboard could sort review 
requests such that those with pending reviews are at the top and are marked with an icon.

What operating system are you using? What browser?

Hmm, this is pretty old, but we actually have this now with the "my comments" column.

I don't think using "My Comments" column for sorting sufficiently addresses the issue. There are multiple use cases where this falls short:
- I may comment on a review but still want to actively monitor it. Sorting by my comments will put this at the bottom and possibly on a different page.
- If you receive a lot of reviews that are sent to a whole group, often it's not a review that requires your attention.
- If changes are postponed or developers leave, reviews can be left open indefinitely.

Bug 1691 proposed the ideal solution. You could mark a review as archived, and it wouldn't show up in your dashboard again unless updates were made to it.
