#0, Archive sorting problem
Posted by Luc on Mar-16-02 at 09:53 AM
The archives aren't actually sorting by date, unfortunately.

Here's an excellent example:

http://www.eyrie-productions.com/Forum/dcboard.cgi?forum=DCForumID1&az=list&archive=yes

The archive appears to skip from June to October.

(The threads are still there, just hidden due to the chaotic ordering)

Thanks

IIRC, this was brought up previously, and the answer was "We don't know why that is. We'll look into it, but since it's not critical, it won't be our #1 priority."

Um, no, I don't intend to spend any time on it actually.

Gryph has manually archived things from time to time, so the dates jump around.
