490573 - Tasks with no due date are sorted between overdue tasks and non-overdue tasks with a due date

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 377041

(Calendar :: Tasks, defect)

Description

[Brennan Vincent]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090428 Minefield/3.6a1pre

When I sort by Due or Due in, I am doing so because I expect to see at the top of the list the tasks I must complete first. Tasks with no due date are normally less urgent than tasks with a due date, and much less urgent than overdue tasks. The sorted list does not reflect this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new task and set the due date to Jan. 1, 1990
2. Create a new task with no due date
3. Create a new task and set the due date to Jan. 1, 2010
4. Sort by clicking the column "Due"
Actual Results:  
The sorted order is: Overdue tasks -> Tasks with no due date -> Non-overdue tasks.

Expected Results:  
The sorted order should be: Overdue tasks -> Non-overdue tasks -> Tasks with no due date.
