Sort by Newest to Oldest Question

[whitts]

Hello again,

I have my topics sorted by Newest to oldest and it seem that a new post (say its one hour old) will be positioned below an older post (say 1 week old) if the oldest post has a more recent last reply date (in this case the newest post has no replies since its brand new).

I understand that people want to see the topics with the newest posts but if a new post (with no replies) is newer than the last reply of an older post shouldn't it be at the top?

(i am still on a master branch from a few weeks ago)

Thanks,

that's how it works. it's not working for you this way?

this community is on latest master (may be a day old) and it works here.

@pichalite I am trying to replicate it but I cant :(.... Heres a screenshot of what i saw:

Maybe someone posted in the older post, deleted and purged?

[pichalite]

@whitts may be... try that scenario (post, delete and purge) and check

[pichalite]

@whitts I just tried it in testing ground... if you reply... delete and purge the reply the post stays on top

[whitts]

@pichalite ah.. at least now i know when someone has deleted and purged

[pichalite]

@whitts you can see those in ACP -> Advanced -> Events I think.

@pichalite Now i know why i never went to that link - it crashes my forum ... Prob due to me being on an old master.

[pichalite]

@whitts don't think that link was changed recently... it shouldn't crash just because you are on an old master... what error do you see in the logs?

@pichalite So is the newest to oldest thing a bug then? Thanks

[pichalite]

@whitts no... events has lot of other items not just delete and purge. Try updating to latest master and see if you still get the error.

I meant is this is a bug

[pichalite]

@whitts I am not sure. @administrators ?

I think the purge option should be removed for OP. It should only be for admins / mods

@whitts Have you find a solution ? I have the same error when i try to open the events page.

Edit :
Resolved the bug by the deletion of events data from mongodb.
My guess is that I had a Event:Time object without an Event object in my database (event 2) :

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5758921b709a80dacd11a26b"), "_key" : "event:1", "type" : "restart", "uid" : 1, "ip" : "xxxxxxxxx", "timestamp" : 1465422363350, "eid" : 1 }
