*INCORRECT* I was mislead by combination of visual problems and available

It will sort on bug number. I had only spotted that I could sort on last
activity.
https://www.debian.org/Bugs/ can report by "classification"

The bug numbers increase monotonically, so larger numbers are
guaranteed to have been filed after smaller numbers. By default
the BTS sorts them numerically which is also the order filed.
BUT
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;package=tomboy>
insists on categorizing the bugs.
I want a simple list, one line per bug, of open bugs for a project:
[bug #] [date submitted] [bug title]
I think you are going about this in an inefficient way. Your stated aim

I'd suggest you choose a package or two which you use and have some
reasonable familiarity with. To tackle all open bugs is a gigantic
task. Testing open bugs in a package you triage is enough for anyone.
A list, one line per bug, of open bugs for a package is on the package
page. You know what they say about molehills.
