screenshot showing bad sort of calendar dates
There was an extra space in the wiki page which was causing this inconsistency. It should be fixed now. Yes, now the displayed order is correct. However, there is some doubt whether the fix is robust. If only the data was changed (extra space character removed) then that is not a good enough fix, because the problem will reappear when the next date is entered with an extra space. Instead, the software must be changed either to parse the entry the sort as a binary value, or at a minimum to strip all whitespace characters before sorting as a character string (taking advantage of the feature of ISO 8601 format for representation of a date, where order as a character-string is isomorphic to order as a date.) The current accepted features page at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/19/FeatureList looks like it is sorting properly; John, are you satisfied with the current behavior, or should we keep this open? Yes, the "Updated" column for Fedora 19 Feature List sorts correctly. Satisfied. Thanks, looks like the wiki no longer has this issue. |
