Bug report — Sorting dates by descending shows null values first (0.5.2 beta)
See original GitHub issueWhat happened?
Dataview 0.5.2 seems to have introduced an issue when sorting dates in descending order, e.g. sort date desc when the query contains null values.
Previously (0.4.2+) when sorting by descending date, the most recent dates would appear at the top of the list. Null values would appear at the bottom.
In 0.5.2 null values appear at the top, then followed by the most recent to oldest.

No. Can still get around it by using
default()and/or some custom function for sorting.I swapped the order that
nullappears in sorts (from nulls FIRST to nulls LAST by default); I’m not sure why I did that. Let me check the git history.
