(latestReleasedVersion()) is not picking up latest released fixed/version for one of my projects

I'm running a query that wants to get the latest released version. But for one of my projects, it is picking up the first project "Benson".

The ZQL is project = "Certify NextGen" and  fixVersion in (latestReleasedVersion())

There are 3 releases for this project.

Benson released 8/8/2017

Briscoe released 3/20/2018

Clouseau released 7/27/2018

I've tried the same query (with different projects) and they all work fine. I have other projects with two or more names and no problem.

Also if i put the project into the argument field, it yields the same result. project = "Certify NextGen" and  fixVersion in (latestReleasedVersion("Certify NextGen"))

I do notice that there is a little gray space at the end of the projects. I 'closed' the one 'to do' task  for Briscoe but that did not make a difference.

What else could be stopping a project from being the "Latest Released Version" using that function?

Thanks in advance

Found the answer with the help of one of our directors.

It is in the definition of the function: "Note, the "latest" is determined by the ordering assigned to the versions, not by actual Version Due Dates."

So, I had to go back into "Releases" and 'order' them properly.

 

With all due respect Atlassian, that is 'silly' in our opinion. I showed this to a Director just now. He concurs.

I have 12 projects I have to monitor. And that means whenever I run this query, I have to make sure the 'order' is proper on the release page. That function is not doing what it is supposed to do. SO rename it to

"latestReleaseOnTheReleasePageAndBeSureYourOrderIsCorrectBecauseWeIgnoreTheActualReleaseDateWhichIsMostImportantToYou"

lol

Please, Atlassian, write up a "Feature Request" for me since it is not a 'bug' cause you have that caveat in the doc.

 

Thanks
