Description Carol 2005-10-12 08:31:04 UTC 
Distribution/Version: debian sid/experimental

The way I found this bug was this:
I was looking to see if there was a way using the Plug-in Browser to find all of
the perl plug-ins I have installed.  When I found there was no way to do this, I
thought that searching on the installation date might be almost as good as all
of the gimp-perl plug-ins were reinstalled yesterday on my computer and no others.

Clicking on the Installation Date did indeed sort the plug-ins by date as I
would expect, however, it sorted them first by weekday.  

When you sort by weekday, Fri comes first.  Next is Monday.  After Monday is
Saturday.  The month or even the year is of no consequence to the way this List
View sorts by Installation date.

It did tell me something I would have never expected.  I do not install plug-ins
on Thursday.

Well, it sorts the date string alphabetically.

	* plug-ins/common/plugin-browser.c: store the installation time in
	the models, not only the string representation. Sort by time, not
	alphabetically. Fixes bug #318652.
