Acq: Year Drop Down Doesn't Sort Chronologically

[Jennifer Pringle]

Evergreen 2.8 and Evergreen 2.10.2

The drop down menu for Year in the Funds interface (Admin -> Acquisitions Administration -> Funds) and for Fiscal Year in the loading MARC records interface (Acquisitions -> Load MARC Order Records) do not list the years chronologically. See attached screenshots.

Ideally the years should be listed chronologically with the most recent year at the top.

Confirmed in 2.9.1

Here is a branch that fixes the year sorting issue for both of the mentioned Acq interfaces by fixing the underlying perl function:

http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/rsteed/lp1586567_acq_year_selector_needs_sorting

To test, apply the patch and restart the open-ils.acq service.

Does a change like this require a perl test?

Thank you Remington and Dawn. In answer to your earlier question, Remington, given that the change is small and that we have three signoffs for the code, I think we can go without the perl test for this one. Merged to master, release 2.11 and 2.10.
