Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an event
2. Create a new event at an earlier time on the same day

Events are sorted in the order I entered them, not the time of the event.

Events sorted in the order of time, not entry.

Thanks for the bug report.  This was covered in bug 315955 and has been fixed in nightly builds for awhile now.  Please test in a nightly build of Sunbird/Lightning before reporting bugs.

I've downloaded the latest nightly build available (2037 East Coast US Time). This issue is fixed when using one file (either local or ics). However, when I'm using more than one .ics file the events are still out of order.

Best wishes,

In recent nightly builds with new views the sort order seem to be:

Multiweek/Month view:

  1) all task in random order
  2) all normal events sorted by start time
  3) all all-day events sorted by title
  
  If events have the same start time or title they are in random order.

Day/Week view:

  * after Sunbird startup all-day events are sorted by calendar
  * all-day events from the same calendar are sorted by time of last change

Can someone post a screenshot of this bug?  I still can't reproduce it.

Attachment: screenshot of bug... please read comment

Please note
(1) the first answer I got stated that in the nightly built it would be fixed
(2) another answer outlined that it would be "correct" to list appointments in monthly view not by time but in alphabetical order
(3) that I only reported a fact with doesn't seem to be logic for me
(4) unfortunately I cannot contribute with extensive testing

Your screenshot shows an old version of Sunbird and is not applicable to current Sunbird. Please retest with Sunbird 0.3 alpha2.

In my opinion this is already fixed (See also Comment #7). Events that have a time are sorted by time. Events that don't have a time (all-day events) are sorted by title. --> WORKSFORME

Yeah, I totally squashed this months ago.

Hmmm... I'm using version 0.3a2 on Windows XT and I definitely have events that are out of order.  I don't have steps to reproduce but the out-of-order events that I have involve multiple remote ics files.  For example, I've got the following:
     9:00 AM event 1 from file 1
     4:15 PM event 1 from file 2
    11:45 AM event 2 from file 1
     6:00 PM event 3 from file 1
When I edited and saved the 4:15 PM event it got shuffled into the right place.

Here is the other info from the about box:

Do you use events that span multiple days? Then you probably see another known issue: The events are sorted correctly by the start time on that day (00:00) but the calendar displays the start time from the first day (4:15 PM).

Example:
Event 1: 2006-06-20 16:15 until 2006-06-22 18:00
Event 2: 2006-06-21 09:00 until 2006-06-21 11:00

If you now look at day 2006-06-21 you will see the following displayed:
16:15 Event 1  (but starts at 00:00 on that day!)
09:00 Event 2

But that issue is known and I think there is already another bug for this.

The bugspam monkeys have struck again. They are currently chewing on default assignees for Calendar. Be afraid for your sanity!
