After upgrading to Confluence 6.3.4, I can no longer sort by date in a table column. Is it me?

Tom Marks

In a simple table with 5 columns and 12 rows, one of the columns uses the standard date format/object (made using "//").  In previous version, the table would accurately sort on that date column.  Version 6.3.4 seems to sort only by the numeric value of the day, and doesn't seem to recognize the rest of the date info.  

 

Is this a known issue, or am I doing something incorrectly?  I've experimented by creating a new table after the upgrade, and it yields the same behavior.

 

Frustrating - feels like I lost a feature with 6.3.4....

Hi Tom,

That was good thinking to create a new table and test.

I tried sorting a column in a table by dates I inserted with the date picker and it worked on my Confluence 6.3.4 test instance. I am using Chrome version 65.0.3325.181.

Also, I found a bug but it was only for European date format, does that fit your use case? Dates aren't sorted correctly in European time format (dd.mm.yyyy)

Does it work if you use a different browser from the one you were trying with?

Thanks,

Ann
