EE 1.6, Build 20070815

Here is the template code I am working with:

<dl>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="news" display_by="week" start_day="Sunday" week_sort="desc" sort="asc" limit="100"}
{date_heading display="weekly"}<dt>Week of: <span>{entry_date format=" %M %d, %Y"}</span></dt>{/date_heading}
<dd><a href="http://{title_permalink=news}">{title} »</a> {if news_intro}<span class="summary">{news_intro}</span>{/if}</dd>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
</dl>

From the docs for week_sort (http://expressionengine.com/docs/modules/weblog/parameters.html):

Changes the sort order of the weeks so that you can either have the weeks displayed by most recent first or oldest first. Separate from the sort=”” parameter, which will only affect the sorting of entries within the weeks, not the weeks themselves.

So, I would expect the code above to produce a list of weeks with the most recent week first, and within each week, have a list of articles with articles at the beginning of the week listed first.

However, you can see the results at http://now.humboldt.edu/news/category/alumni-news/—everything is sorted ascending according the the “sort” parameter. This behavior holds up if I change the values of the parameters—weeks and articles are always sorted by the “sort” parameter, and the “week_sort” parameter has no effect.

Am I missing something here?

What version and build are you using?

We’re replicating this one, asarbogast.  We’ll dig deeper and let you know what we find.

Great, thanks!

Just as a note, this is now in our bug tracker..

I notice this issue has been resolved in the Bug Tracker, but I’m experiencing the exact same problem with ExpressionEngine 1.6.1 - Build:  20071114.

Could it be possible that the bug could reappear in 1.6.1?

It looks like it’s working for me on the latest build- and the query looks like I’d expect it to:

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(entry_date + -18000), '%X%V') AS yearweek , etc….
ORDER BY yearweek DESC, t.sticky desc, t.entry_date asc

Can you create a test page- just put some sample code on it a la

<dl>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="reading" display_by="week" start_day="Sunday" week_sort="desc" sort="asc" limit="100"}
{date_heading display="weekly"}<dt>Week of: <span>{entry_date format=" %M %d, %Y"}</span></dt>{/date_heading}
<dd><a href="http://{title_permalink=news}">{title} »</a>  - {entry_date format=" %M %d, %Y : %g:%i:%s"}</dd>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
</dl>

Try flipping out the sort- does it change- and if it’s definitely not working, can you link to the test page in action?
