Re^2: An interesting quirk of the new order?

Isn't the list in 'most recent, descending' order?

If so, I have been under a mis-impression for a long time.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

It could be I who is mis-impressioned. Here's a section of relevant site code. I'm fairly certain that I'm not hurting anything by showing it: `22: return qq[<span class="other-users-text">Others ] 23: .qq[<span class="other-users-blurb">$blurb</span> the mon +astery:</span> ] 24: .htmlcode( 'get_picked_nodes', '', 25: type => 'Users', 26: past => $time, # minutes! 27: max_age => 2, # minutes! 28: choose => $limit, 29: style => 'nodelet');` [download] And following into the '`get_picked_nodes`' code, I see that the order is fleshed out to be "`Selected Users In descending order of XP`" I learned something new about the site today. So your point seems valid; what caused the order to go funky? ...my money is on the gremlins. Dave	[reply] [d/l] [select]

...my money is on the gremlins. Okay, it's hardly important of itself, but given the recent changes, and that I have never seen it before, it could be indicative of a deeper problem. So I thought it worth reporting. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

I never said gremlins shouldn't be considered a deeper problem. ;) It is curious, actually. I just double-checked, and it doesn't look as though the code related to Other Users and pick_nodes has been touched lately. Dave	[reply]
