SUGGESTION: Yahoo Finance -- Earnings Calendars

I use Yahoo Finance all the time.

Very useful, but could be made enormously valuable -- just with few minor changes.

How about:
  1. Adding a "sort by", for each column. I really want to know which ones of these are EPS positive, which announcements are being made Before Market Opens or After Market Closes or Time unknown.
  2. Adding custom columns, for additional data? For example, market capitilization; Price (Hi-Lo); Current Price; etc. Can we use some AJAX programming, please?
  3. Exporting to excel.
  4. I like the fact that you can add these events to Yahoo Calendars. Proof that there is interaction between the Calendar team and the Finance team. How about providing the option to exporting to iCal format or other calendar formats?
The product teams at Google Finance should take note too.

Thoughts?
