As a clarification TDFs 4.2.7 release _does_ update references, while Ubuntus 4.2.7-0ubuntu1 by default does not (see comment #17 on how to change that). So:
- TDFs 4.2.7 release shows fdo#81633, but not fdo#81309
- Ubuntus 4.2.7-0ubuntu1 by default shows fdo#81309, but not fdo#81633
Both bugs are mutually exclusive.

For completeness it shall be noted that the original poster on reddit complains about references not being updated after sort in Ubuntu 4.2.7-0ubuntu1 (so he agrees with the reporter of fdo#81309: "Sorting should automatically adjust references."), to which the first commenter on reddit links to fdo#85614 against TDFs builds, which says: "Sorting should automatically adjust references is an ill conceived enhancement.". Apparently these two reddit users are not aware that they have exactly opposing opinions on the expected behaviour.

In fact, switching back Ubuntu default behaviour to the one of TDFs upstream 4.2.7 release by default, while making the reporters of fdo#81309 happy, would just exchange that for those who want fdo#81633 to be resolved.

Repeating again: Comment #17 has a quick way to toggle the default behaviour.
