Description

I'm using the docker version of Gitea on a Synology NAS. I was recently informed of an update which I installed. After the update (version 1.24.3) milestones with a due date now sort after milestones without a due date (on the default earliest first sort order), whereas before that, they (naturally in my view) sorted before.

In my (private) repository I have the upcoming milestones with due dates, and others more ephemeral milestones without due dates. It is annoying that these now sort first.

I created a demo repository at https://gitea.com/akc42/Test/milestones?sort=closestduedate&state=open&q=

~~The releases are ordered by "created_unix DESC, id DESC", and as far as I know, this ordering hasn’t changed recently.~~

OK. This is the current ordering logic, and it hasn’t changed recently. But I agree—it doesn’t look ideal.

func (opts FindMilestoneOptions) ToOrders() string {
	switch opts.SortType {
	case "furthestduedate":
		return "deadline_unix DESC"
	case "leastcomplete":
		return "completeness ASC"
	case "mostcomplete":
		return "completeness DESC"
	case "leastissues":
		return "num_issues ASC"
	case "mostissues":
		return "num_issues DESC"
	case "id":
		return "id ASC"
	case "name":
		return "name DESC"
	default:
		return "deadline_unix ASC, name ASC"
	}
}

@lunny well that is wrong, since the ordering in the sort tab says "Earliest Due date" or "Latest Due Date"

Note also, the same change has occurred when in an specific issue, you click on the Milestone list on the right hand side and the list of milestones there also now list the milestones without due dates ahead of those with due dates, where as before it didn't

I sent a pull request #35200 which will consider non-due date milestones when sorting.
