Incorrect sorting when the item "grouping by->date a

Post by Igorx »

selected.

Sorting is carried out only first item (a day) of a date, for example:
dates of
01-nov-04
22-mar-05
23-feb-05
01-mar-04
09-jan-04
will be sorted
01-mar-04
01-nov-04
09-jan-04
22-mar-05
23-feb-05
but should be so:
09-jan-04
01-mar-04
01-nov-04
23-feb-05
22-mar-05

Thanx!

It's because it sorts the dates as simple text strings.
On my system I do not had the problem since I use "yyyy-mm-dd" as date format :D
It was already reported but I still haven't fixed it.

About dates

On the subject of the classifications by dates I have the version 3.5.0rc7 in French. We cannot choose the format of the date it put himself 03/03/2005 and not this 2005-03-03 that would allow being able to sort the adds date. For the next version may be.
Again a big cheer for this great software. I love it ! :grinking: sts85

It uses the format that you selected in Windows regional settings. Since you can chose how you want to display dates, I guess that the best is that the program uses this format. The fact that they're wrongly sorted is a real bug, and I'll correct it properly rather than changing the date format ;)
