#1839 Yahrzeiten Block Sorting - not yet OK
When I sort the Yahrzeiten block events by the Date or by the Yahrzeit, the result is sorted by a character date instead of by the upcomming Julian day.
I see my dates in the following sequence:
11 Tevet 5678
11 Tevet 5708
4 Tevet 5651
4 Tevet 5674
...
7 Tevet 5684
9 Tevet 5677
The events of 11 Tevet should be sorted after the events of 9 Tevet.
The sorting at least by the Yahrzeit column should be similar to the sorting by Date of the Upcoming Events Block.

I haven't tested this (not enough test data), but it was a simple change so it should work...

Sorting by Date works now.
Sorting by Yahrzeit does not yet work.
It should work by the (shown) Julian Dates.
Now I see
11 Tevet
12 Tevet
...
18 Tevet
20 Tevet
...
29 Tevet
3 Shevat
4 Shevat
...
6 Shevat
6 Tevet
7 Tevet
9 Tevet

Looking at your site: future/phpGedViewSVN4.1/
I see the dates in the correct order.
I presume we can close this one.

I must not have been clear enough.
When I sort by date, I see the individuals sorted by MONTH/DAY. There is no sorting by the YEAR within the MONTH/DAY. (Same is true with the sorting of the Upcoming Events - the marriage events are printed separately after the individual events - same for Hebrew dated events)
When I sort by Anniversary, I see the events sorted by the number of years since the person died. I assume that the individuals are sorted by MONTH/DAY within the YEAR.
(In the Upcomming Events the sorting is not correct for Hebrew dates. I see 6 Iyar 5721 between 6 May 1961 and 17 May 1961)
When I sort by the Yahrzeit, the sorting is wrong. It is by the character value of the date. So I see 1 Iyar, 11 Iyar, 12 Iyar, ..., 19 Iyar, 2 Iyar, 20 Nissan, 21 Nissan, 24 Nissan, ..., 28 Nissan, 3 Iyar, 30 Nissan, 6 Iyar, 7 Iyar, 8 Iyar or in Gregorian dates 6 May, 16 May, 17 May, ..., 24 May, 7 May, 25 April, 26 April, ..., 3 May, 8 May, 5 May, 11 May, ...
There is now now no way to sort by the full date YEAR/MONTH/DAY.
I would change the sorting by Yahzeit to be as the sorting by Date is now and the sorting by Date to sort by YEAR/MONTH/DAY. We have the 2 columns, so I would take advantage of this fact and not show the same sort sequence for the 2 columns.
Another, less preferable, solution would be not to allow sorting by the Yahrzeit column.
The sorting of block data has completely vanished.
