A change in sorting in the browser?

C Alberga · 09-09-2021, 04:53 PM

Until the last update if I sorted the "Title" to put the books in order from A to Z, and the sorted the "Author", the books for any given Author would remain in order from A to Z. But now the Books are reversed, being listed from Z to A. The same effect is seen if the first sort is on "Date". After the second sort the "Date" is always ascending. I haven't tried other combinations. But if the "Title" is initially in Z to A order it remains so after the "Author" sort. Is this a designed change, or and accident?

Click the column header again and the direction changes.
Note the small arrowhead above the label

Thank you, but if you go back to my question you may see that that isn't an answer to it. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. On the other hand, the sort seems to be working correctly today, so perhaps I was hallucinating before. I'll save my "written before retesting" response, in case I'm hallucinating today!
