Redmine

But #12243 is closed, while the problem is still present. So it seems a bit odd to me that this issue now is getting closed. Shouldn't it be kept open (possible renamed to something like "sorting redmine.org forums by 'last updated' date is broken" until the actual issue is resolved on redmine.org, too? Ideally, resolution would not just mean "we wait until all messages visible on the first page of the forum overview are sorted"), but rather would also cover fixing the updated_on column for older messages. This should be doable, as all the information can be recovered from the messages in each thread, shouldn't it? So I guess a relatively simple script should do it, and I am sure other redmine admins would love to have such a script, too, in order to fix their incorrect data in the repository, too.

There is no incorrect data persisted; the sort is based directly on messages data and was failing before being fixed for 2.2.4.

Redmine.org has a lightly specific upgrade policy and does not have this fix included yet.

Aha, now I see. Thank you very much for taking the time to explain, Etienne!
