I'm confused about how HLO is supposed to be sorting journal entries. I've dated them, per the instructions, with dates formatted like "January 28, 2020" in the "Real Date" field but the entries all seem to be sorted instead alphabetically by the Title field which would, at first glance, appear to be the worst possible way one could ever conceive of sorting journal entries.

I did receive another reply from Ryan. It was along the lines of: sorry it doesn't work the way you want it to, small team with limited resources and lots to do, we'll put it on the pile.
In the meantime, I guess we have no choice but to modify our behavior to fit the code. <shrug> |

we all have our "pet" issues that bother us more than others-- mine is the lack of an in-interface generic dice roller. however it'd be unreasonable to expect the devs to drop everything and work on mine first. |

Agreed, and that's the same response I got. I tried what he said, and it doesn't work. This isn't necessarily a pet issue, but when the suggested action doesn't work, that ratchets up the annoyance level because it indicates that the solution wasn't tested and/or the person writing it doesn't use the tool. No offense, but renaming the title does NOT allow re-ordering....they seem to be stuck in the order that they were created. I can live with it, now that I know, but leading us down false trails can become a pet issue in itself when it's done several times over.

My journal sorts itself just fine in order of Game Date (not Real Date).

I solved this by using my chronicle sheet number to start the title, but that’s a society specific fix.
