Order Of Questions In A Topic Has Changed

[bibblebub]

Is it intended that, when one views all the questions in a topic, those listed in each page are in chronological order e.g. on page 1 the most recent is at the bottom of the page rather than the top (as it used to be)?

This is the same for each page of questions yet the pages are still in reverse chronological order i.e. all those on page 2 were posted before those on page 1, page 3's before page 2's, and so on.

I noticed that too bibs ..bit confusing !

[joggerjayne]

Oh, so it's everyone?

I thought my lappy was being weird.

All my questions to Sqad in body and Soul have gone, well they're not showing on my profile page!

[bibblebub]

maybe it's to keep aussie users happy

[emmie]

shouldn't the order of questions you ask be in time, date order, mine have gone higgledy piggledy..

[emmie]

maizie i can see one of your questions to sqad, the dates seem wrong way round.

[mazie]

Thanks em. None of them are in my profile though, unless they are on a different page.

[bibblebub]

I must be a bit slow this morning because I've only just noticed that it's not just the order of questions that is wrong (including those in one's profile) but answers to questions too.

[emmie]

that was only one, sqad has said same, that they have lost a weeks worth of health questions, in the autumn clean, some of the days order are totally wrong..

[bibblebub]

oops - forget that last part 'cos with answers that's the way it always has been (really am being very thick so far today)

[emmie]

should be latest question first, it's not, and can see mazie your profile page that you are right only one health question to sqad i can see

[emmie]

if you look under health and fitness the first page is upside down, so it's
2nd october down to 10th oct, that was the case before, was it?

[emmie]

sorry typo that wasn't the case before..

[bibblebub]

hurry up and sort it Mr Ed 'cos people are thinking that questions have been deleted

[Gromit]

Hope this is a mistake.

It would be damn foolish not to list in chronological order.

[Gromit]

Some discussion sites let you switch the order questions are displayed.

- oldest first
- best Answers first
- just added first

[bibblebub]

Optimistically one might hope that it's the first, faltering step towards allowing people to choose whether questions or (more usefully) answers are displayed in chronological / reverse chronological order, but the reality is that it's probably just that a setting didn't get put back to default during site maintenance.

[bibblebub]

i took so long to compose that answer that it's cross posted with yours, Gromit

[Gromit]

You know when you go to the supermarket and they have moved everything around to make you buy different stuff. That sense of lost and bewilderment is what it is like on here.

[bibblebub]

that is the only occasion for which i find shop assistants to be of any use
