Subject: BUG #17924: Inverted behavior of "Date" and "Reverse Date" when searching a mailbox archive
Date: Sun, 07 May 2023 10:27:27 +0000
Message-ID: <17924-e2de0e7357152edb@postgresql.org> (raw)
The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 17924
Logged by: Hans Buschmann
Email address: buschmann@nidsa.net
PostgreSQL version: Unsupported/Unknown
Operating system: Postgres Website Mailing List search
Description:
I recently did a search on pgsql-hackers.
When changing the order of the result set from "Rank" to "Reverse Date" I
observed that "Date" gives the results from newest to oldest while "Reverse
Date" gives them from oldest to newest.
This seems to me a mismatch and quite confusing.
The semantics of Date and Reverse Date should be corrected (exchanged)
Any thoughts?
Hans Buschmann
