Thread ordering is broken

To put it lightly, it's a total mess. Here's a screenshot from the Exchange space:   I tried all the sorting options, switching back and forth to Conversation start date/last post date - n...

VasilMichev,

 

I think you are correct, the 'Newest' filter doesn't always appear to order the posts correctly. I am asking our devs to take a look into this.

 

I am also exploring with our devs if at the individual space level if we could have the old view along side the filters.. almost a filter like 'All'.. which shows the boards in the old way while allowing users who want to use the new filters to do so.

We have just deployed a fix for this, note that newest still does not match 'latest conversations' this is because latest conversations only shows you the newest posts where as the 'Newest' filter shows you the latest activity so if there is a reply to a thread that would bring it to the top of the list.

 

Hope that makes sense.

    Thanks Allen. Yes, definitely looks better now, and I can live with the "newest" ordering logic.

     

    Here's a crazy thought - can you maybe get the devs to actually test their code before deploying next time? :)

      And while we are still on the subject, can we get an increase of the number of threads loaded by default? The new limit of 5 is just too low and makes browsing the spaces to get new/updated conversations a drag.

        +1, portion of 5 is quite small
