Feature description

It is not obviously in what order multiple messages from same sender are displayed (I often do not remember). Thus I would appreciate to see seconds for message time display (in cases minute of receive time is the same). Important e.g. for real-time trading.

Why do you want this feature?

Is it really needed to additionally display seconds? Even though we don't display seconds, we take them in consideration while sorting messages.

At least for me, sure.

I am not a trader, but I think it would be nice for the sake of precision. :-) Maybe introduce an option, so that each user can decide?

I used to trade, but I'm not sure how messages are helpful there. For high-frequency trading, wouldn't it be better to rely on the broker data/API directly?

In any case, since messages are already sorted by time, I think it would be simpler to keep displaying minutes as it is, but display seconds in the message properties dialog for those who need that info.
