Vital Records Report does not sort - 1.5.1 stale

[meliza]

See http://dev.webtrees.net/demo-stable/reportengine.php?ged=demo&action=setup&report=modules_v3%2Fbdm_report%2Freport.xml
for instance for London.

I try to sort by birth date or by death date.
The report is not sorted.

It seems to work OK on the demo-dev site. e.g.

http://dev.webtrees.net/demo-dev/reportengine.php?action=run&report=modules_v3%2Fbdm_report%2Freport.xml&varnames[]=name&vars[name]=&type[name]=NAME&varnames[]=bdmplace&vars[bdmplace]=London&type[bdmplace]=PLAC&varnames[]=birthdate1&vars[birthdate1]=&type[birthdate1]=DATE&varnames[]=birthdate2&vars[birthdate2]=&type[birthdate2]=DATE&varnames[]=deathdate1&vars[deathdate1]=&type[deathdate1]=DATE&varnames[]=deathdate2&vars[deathdate2]=&type[deathdate2]=DATE&varnames[]=sortby&vars[sortby]=BIRT%3ADATE&type[sortby]=&varnames[]=pageSize&vars[pageSize]=A4&type[pageSize]=&varnames[]=fonts&vars[fonts]=dejavusans&type[fonts]=&output=HTML

When I log-in to the demo-dev site and create the report for London sorted by death-date, I see 1910 before 1901. After that the records are sorted OK.

Between the date groups there are individuals without death dates.

Is the wrong report data cached?

On the demo-dev when I log-in to the site the people who are alive are printed in an odd sequence, when I sort by death dates. The sequence is persons born 2002, 1964, then dead 1841, 1999, 1964, 1996, 1999 and then dead 1819, ...

The routine to calculate estimated death dates (max-alive-years after estimated birth date) does not return any future dates.

This is a courtesy to living individuals - we do not want to predict their death date.

But the lack of a date causes the sort algorithm to fail.

[fisharebest (fisharebest)]

The issue also affects the individual list, which uses the same logic.

The fix is to always calculate the future estimated death date, but not display it on the lists.
