Aura HD Pocket sort order problem

Filmbrain · 05-12-2014, 05:18 AM

Hi all --

Have noticed this problem with Pocket and the way it sorts articles. (It's been there ever since Pocket was introduced on the Aura HD, FWIW.)

From the main menu (where you see all of your articles) there are several sort options available: Newest, Oldest, Title, and Source.

Sorting by Oldest or Newest just doesn't work, for some strange reason. And what's even more curious, is that the two views aren't merely reversed when I change from one to the other -- it's similar, but the order isn't identical. Very odd.

Sorting by Oldest, I see the following dates: 4/29/13, 4/10/14, 4/22/14, 3/2/14, 9/19/13, etc.

Not a huge problem, but I'm still curious as to why Pocket gets it wrong. At first I thought maybe it has something to do with the fact that my computer uses the dd/mm/yy format and Pocket uses mm/dd/yy, but that doesn't seem to be it.

Just curious if anybody else is experiencing this, or has an understanding as to why....

Yes, I am seeing that as well. Looking at the database, there are three dates: DateCreated, DateLastRead and DateAdded. For the eight articles I have at the moment, sorting by Newest and Oldest don't match any of the dates.
