Problems Sorting

For some reason I can’t get Ditto to sort by published date.

http://test.ronvil.com/cases_results.html

The page above lists pages within a folder, which I have set to sort by pub_date, DESC.



If you look at the pub_dates listed on the page, you’ll see they are not by pub date but I imagine createdon. Any ideas what’s wrong here?
Thanks

1. Did you set pub_date on each of the documents?

2. Which version of Ditto are you using?

A pub date is set for each.
Which is displayed under each summary.

I am using Ditto RC2

Any ideas on this? I can’t seem to get this to sort properly.
I think it was working in 1.0.2

Hi,

did you try to sort on any other date such as createdon just to know if the issue is related to pub_date.

The second item in your list has a weird date =>published: 31 12 1969

:-)

Yes - the default sorting is created on and I can sort them in either ASC or DESC, just cannot sort them using pub_date.

pub_date is not assigned to the document unless you explicitly assign one while creating the new document.

Hope this helps.

Yes, - I’ve assigned publish dates to each file - but it is only listing by createdon.

Yes, you are right, this is a bug in Ditto 2 RC2. Please file a bug in the Ditto 2 bugtracker @ http://mirror3.cvsdude.com/trac/ditto/codebase . Thanks!

Ok, try the latest SVN head. That should fix the problem.
