Sort Date In Kontact To-Do List Ignores Year

[Félim Whiteley]

The Sort by Date does not function correctly it does not take into account both Year and Month.

Steps to reproduce:

- Create a To-Do list item dated for instance 01/04/09
- Create a To-Do list item dated 01/11/08

Sorting by date/time lists the 01/04/09 before 01/11/08

This has changed since KDE3 as it functioned correctly.

Thanks,

I meant to update this ages ago. I set my master KDE date layout too YYYY-MM-DD to fix it, but I reckon in the backend it should perhaps *understand* date layout, in my mind sorting by date rarely involves anything other than Newest To Oldest, or at least by default it should do this. If someone wants to find every date starting on the 1st of the Month then they should configure it but for 1st time user might be a little odd of a setting.

Well problem fixed for me but maybe it's something to consider anyway.

Cheers,

Félim

HI,

This bug affects also the todo list in kontact.

The workaround described above does not work for me.

This bus already is solved in KDE 4.1.4 and 4.2.0. See:

The fix has been released to Jaunty.
Intrepid will also receive the fix once it gets KDE 4.1.4 packages.
