This is also a problem in Admin->OSVersions (which is the page this one copies). I'll look into it

Comment 2 Raymond Mancy 2012-04-23 16:40:45 UTC

This is still an issue. Fedora10 is displayed before Fedora8. Need to use a similar comparator as in the distro list in the reserve workflow.

Comment 3 wangjing 2013-06-20 03:08:25 UTC

reopen it because issue in comment2 still exists.

Comment 5 Dan Callaghan 2016-05-10 00:01:41 UTC

This is not actually easy to fix since currently the sorting and pagination is done on the MySQL side and there is no collation we can use to make it sort Fedora8 before Fedora10.

This also doesn't seem to be too serious an issue (the current ordering is not *completely* wrong/broken) and we are hoping to get rid of all this distro library UI in the medium term once we switch Beaker to get its distro metadata from PDC. Therefore WONTFIX.
