291756 - Broken folder sorting in history

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 148539

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

History sorting for day folders is wrong when 'Last visited' sort is enabled.
Example of order on 1.7.7 with Last visited sort selected (no folders are empty):

Older than 6 days
Yesterday
2 days ago
....... [correct order]
6 days ago
Today

When Last visited sort is switched (reverse sort) then first and last folders
are swapped. If you select Title sort, and then Last visited, then the swapped
ones are "2 days ago" and "Yesterday"... Sorting broken.

Reproducible: Always

Reproducible with Mozilla 1.8b1, also choosing View>Unsorted multiple times
keeps swapping the first position ('Older than 6 days') and the last position
('Today'). I couldn't reproduce this bug with 1.8b2/20050424 and a short
'incomplete' history list.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Exactly the same effect in 1.7.12.

dupe of 'History "Last Visited" Sorts in Alphanumeric order, not by date'
(and non-alphanumeric order if you click the right columns)
