Description Alexander Davidsen 2011-07-15 12:05:59 UTC 
Description of problem:
When sorting the packages installed on a system the packages are sorted by alphabeth, not numeric. Meaning that latest package install does not nessacarly show up at the top. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.5.56-1.el5

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Systems -> Select a sysmte -> Software -> List / Remove 
2. Click "Installed" to sort on latest installed package.
You can now see that packages installed for example 7/8/11 is listed before packages installed 7/11/11
  
Actual results:
Packages installed for example 7/8/11 is listed before packages installed 7/11/11


Expected results:
Newest installed packages should be listed first.

Hey Alexander,

clicking on 'Installed', the packages get sorted according to install time, newest first.
When clicking on 'Installed' again, the packages get sorted in the opposite order - newest last.

Not sure, what doesn't work for you, but it works as expected for me.

Aligning under space16.

Hi,

If you look at the following url: http://bildr.no/view/934369 I have added a screenshot. 

As you can see, the package on the top  (I had to anonymize the name) is installed 7/8/2011 and the package below is installed 07/19/2011. The first package should be sorted below. 

This is after trying to sort on install date, newest first.
Comment 4 Tomas Lestach 2011-07-25 13:29:12 UTC 
You're right. The sort was done according to the string representation of date not according to the date itself.
