Comment 5 for bug 1922691

Thank you Kovid. I am not sure what you mean by "browser viewer", but probably of no matter (Annotations browser window?). When you say "sorting the highlights", do you mean there is a particular way of doing this? Maybe this is what I am missing as I cannot see this option anywhere.

I usually highlight text on my e-reader, and then import those highlights with the separate annotations plugin. But since I cannot make highlights on PDFs on my device (Kobo Forma), I was trying the new Calibre Viewer annotations feature as a possible workaround to instead highlight them on my laptop. So yes, it is definitely the Calibre Viewer I am selecting to open them with while trying this, and it is specifically with PDFs I was hoping to use it for. But if this if out of scope, then no worries.

In any case, I have done some more testing now with both PDF and EPUB files, and the annotations are appearing consistently in reverse order in both 5.14 and 5.17. I tried marking a fresh PDF and then EPUB in 5.14, then updated to 5.17 and tried the same again with different PDF and EPUB files respectively. I have attached the four files in question (2x PDF and 2x EPUB) that I tested with, along with a screenshot showing the reversed ordering for all four of them in the annotations browser. In all cases I have highlighted numbered chapter titles in order, so you can clearly see how they are reversed. E.g. marking chapters 1 – 9 consecutively in the first PDF get displayed in reverse order 9 – 1 in the annotations browser and export.
