Announcements portlet display order
New Member Postagens: 3 Data de Entrada: 12/08/09 Postagens Recentes
Announcement portlet default sorting seems to be by modified date, which defeats the purpose of queueing events with a future publish date / displayDate.
Example:
I have an announcement that I want to display in 2 weeks. Call it scheduledAnnouncement.
So I create it, and set the display date two weeks from now.
Between now and then, I create dozens of announcements that do not expire anytime soon.
Once we get to that displayDate, the scheduledAnnouncement is now in the list of entries that are displayed.
However, because the sort/order currently seem to be by modifiedDate, the "new" scheduledAnnouncement appears at the tail end of my list.
The behavior that's expected by users is that the sort is on displayDate ( which is considered to be the publishDate ).
This also "fixes" an issue where a modified issue ( like fixing a typo ) causes it to bubble up to the top of the list. That piece is debatable, though, admittedly.
Anyone else feel the order should be adjusted?
