On the chart of accounts, with "Last Reconcile Date" column selected, sorting by this column sorts by the day of the month not the actual date. Example 02/08/2017, 03/10/2016, 05/07/2017. I think this has been happening in a few earlier releases so isn't specific to 2.6.17. Windows 10 64 bit, Date Format Locale (UK).
Created attachment 372983 [details] reconcile date:wrong order in dd.mm.yyyy format
Maybe this has something to do with Bug 793156 ? It seems to be the same error: The date is sorted by its string representation and not by Date Value, so the result ist wrong if the Date is not in the YYYY.MM.DD Format. Don`t know if there is a general Error in all Date sorts because its all implemented in one function or just in some Date sorting Functions Sorting transactions in an account is correct but may be done by a different code
Comment on attachment 372983 [details] reconcile date:wrong order in dd.mm.yyyy format Still present in Version 3.1
This Bug is not fixed in Version 3.2. just tried it, screenshot would be the same als in 3.1. so i dont add a new one
I have a possible fix for this locally, will add to a PR in due course.
Great, I am looking forward to it and will be happy to try it when its in the Repositories (but I am not able to build the Program myself)
Added possible fix to PR432.
The fix was accepted and will be included in GnuCash 3.4. Thanks!
@Gunter: as you are on Windows you can already test the fix by downloading and installing a the most recent nightly build from here: https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/maint/
