GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 346069
Header sort not working as expected
Last modified: 2006-06-30 21:15:21 UTC
in Pan 0.99, when headers are in the format right-bracket number left-bracket [nnnn] followed by text, the headers are sorted on the text, ignoring the bracketed numbers preceding the text. The following text is usually very similar for many posts, intermingling many posts that would otherwise be grouped byt that leading number. This behavior is new for the pre-1.0 betas. This can be reproduced by looking in the alt.binaries.movies.divx group, where using a leading number is common to group posts.
Fixed in 0.102. I wish all bug reports were this easy; all that was required was to change isalpha() to isalnum() in header-pane.cc::do_collate(). :)
