protocol6 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 The sort order on the "Completed On" column used to treat unfinished torrents as more recent than the most recently completed torrent. This made for a sensible way to sort so you could see what's running and what's ready to use.Unfortunately sometime in the last few revisions the sort changed and now uncompleted torrents sort as oldest so you can either see uncompleted followed by oldest to newest or you can see newest and scroll all the way to the bottom to see uncompleted. This sort order is nonsensical although probably the default for the control. All it needs is a custom comparer which seems like it must have had in the past. Ideally the uncompleted ones would be subsorted by their # which is how it used to work.It also used to subsort by added or completed when you sorted by #, as well... this gave essentially the same result.Why this was changed I really don't know but it sure makes the sort options painfully bad now.

Ultima Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=60154I don't quite understand where your complaint lies. The Completed On column currently sorts torrents such that the unfinished torrents are more "recent" than recently completed torrents. Proof? Sort descending -- which should put most recently completed torrents on top. The incomplete torrents (which have blank Completed On times because they haven't yet completed) are sorted above completed torrents, and rightfully so, because their completion times will come temporally after the last completed torrent job's completion time.The old sort on the column was completely wrong. It treated blank completion times as if they came before the earliest (oldest) completed torrents, which makes absolutely no sense because blank completion times mean not yet complete, meaning a future time, meaning it will be more recent than the oldest completed torrents.To be more concrete...OLD SORT (descending):2009-10-12 (most recently finished torrent)...2009-02-012009-01-01 (oldest finished torrent)[bLANK 1] (incomplete -- to be completed)...[bLANK n] (incomplete -- to be completed)NEW SORT (descending):[bLANK 1] (incomplete -- to be completed)...[bLANK n] (incomplete -- to be completed)2009-10-12 (most recently finished torrent)...2009-02-012009-01-01 (oldest finished torrent)Edit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
