Man cut them some slack, They are a small indie company. They cant afford competent developers who understand such incredibly complex data engineering topics like data types. sheeesh

Bump for awareness.

[Gemma]

Are the devs aware of this? Can this be marked as a known issue?

Yeah this has never worked correctly. The TP basically needs to be torn down and completely rebuilt into something that actually works properly and has better sorting and monitoring systems.

Another day. Another bump for acknowledgement of the issue.

Can we get acknowledgement? This (and soooo many other issues with the TP) makes the TP such an annoying experience.

Why can’t we sort by the data we want to see? (stat type, time, etc.) REAL sorting & filtering!! We definitely need more filtering capabilities.

This is because they are doing a simple string comparison (think of the times as a bunch of characters like “1” and “d” stringed together. A comparison on these strings then compares first character vs first character of another string. And so you get 2d, 2m, 3d, 30m, 4d and so on.
Seems for me that nobody cared about that during implementation (like quality management).
