Gmail ordering of emails
-
I remember there was a thread where someone posted a screenshot of Discourse apparently putting posts in the incorrect order, but I couldn't find it.
Here is part of an email thread from my Gmail:
The two "18 Aug" emails are almost the same.
The thread appears the same on my mobile, though with the second "18 Aug" message appearing as "19 Aug". So it's not just a corrupt HTML from JS or something.
As an aside, pasting images here is great. Makes it very easy to share WTFy screenshots. ZenDesk used to have this feature but removed it.

Have any of your settings changed? I have never run in to that out of order issue.
-
Sorry I can see I wasn't that clear (it is almost 1:30am!) My screenshot was from a Gmail thread unrelated to Discourse. I thought the thread I mentioned was funny when I saw this issue in Gmail.
What settings anyway? :) "Order posts like American dates"? :P

Did you check your label ordering settings?
-
You are aware that Gmail will rape your ordering to oblivion unless you force it to stop? It will order based on calculated importance (the algorithm for which is worthy of a WTF), read/unread flag, and other completely opaque factors.

Like the suggested topics view in Discourse?!
I'm glad that I don't use GMail as my main E-Mail service.

Mine does none of this - it's always ordered by date regardless of whether I access it from a browser or the Gmail app.

Me too.

What does your settings say it'll do?
-
Mine also behaves rationally, but that is only because each time Gmail introduced a new order-raping feature, I chose not to use it.
-
Mine says "default" but it's always sorted by date.
While I'm necroing--again, dammit--WTF is this layout option? Fuck you, don't try to get cute.
