Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect, P3)

Description

[fenella]

Linux and Win_nt 4.0 (1999-07-22-08 m9)
1. Prefs50.js file contains 1 pop, 1 imap and 1 news server
2. Open Inbox folder, click on the Date column, Sort does not sort properly
or From the View|Sort|By Date, it does not sort properly either.

Please refer to bug# 10350, based on the date format, mac sorts properly
according to the day of the week with the Date Format of "Monday 28 June 1999"

But on Linux and Win_nt, it does not sort properly. It simply does not work.

Reassigning to rjc since RDF is handling Date sorting now.

Comment 4

[Robert John Churchill]

Scott, are you passing back nsIRDFDate literals when sorting is in effect on a
date attribute?

Comment 5

[scottputterman]

As far as I know.  Should I not be?

Comment 6

[Robert John Churchill]

No, you should be.  :^)  I just wanted to check with you to ensure that the
sorting code was getting nsIRDFDate literals and not strings.

M9.

Comment 9

[Robert John Churchill]

Fixed. (A single character change [from '<' to '>' when calling LL_CMP]... those
are the best.)

Linux (1999-08-12-01 M9), Mac(1999-08-12-08 M9)
 and Win_nt 4.0 (1999-08-11-10 M9)
View|Sort|By Date sorts properly now.
