📄 Description

GitHub's Sorting:

GitHub sorts releases by published_at DESC (newest first)
The API returns them in this order by default
Our Processing:

Fetch releases from GitHub (sorted by published_at DESC)
Sort by published_at DESC, take top N releases
Reverse to process oldest → newest (so oldest gets created first in Gitea)
Create in Gitea with 1-second delays between each
Oldest release → created first → smallest created_unix
Newest release → created last → largest created_unix
Gitea displays sorted by created_unix DESC → newest first
Result: Gitea shows releases in the same order as GitHub ✅

For the Retro-Crisis repo specifically:

GitHub shows: 20250928 (Sep 28) → 20250831 (Aug 31) → 20250825 (Aug 25) → ...
Gitea will now show: 20250928 → 20250831 → 20250825 → ... (same order!)
The key fix was changing from created_at ?? published_at to published_at ?? created_at, because:

created_at = when git tag was created (commit date)
published_at = when release was published on GitHub
For repos where multiple tags share the same commit, they have the same created_at but different published_at dates. Using published_at first ensures we respect the actual release publication order, not just the tag/commit date.
