+teamhodgson Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I was looking at my list of caches completed in my public profile and they are all out of order, almost random. They used to be in the order I completed them. How do I fix this and why did it happen ? Thanks! Link to comment
jholly Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 They are not random. They are listed last first for a given day. This happened when the sort order was fixed on the personal profile page. This fix was put into place because people were upset the order on the personal profile page was wrong. In addition to getting things out of order on the public profile page the order on the cache page is screwed up. Jim Link to comment
+teamhodgson Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hmmmm. Mine are not just out of order on a given day they are just all random...augusts, sepetember, back to august. it only just appeared like this today. Yesterday it was fine. No big deal but very strange. Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 If you go to My Profile, and look at the list of My Logs (last 30 days), the list is last found at the top per day. (It used to be last found at the bottom, which is how I keep my Excel Spreadsheet of finds. Now I have to reverse them.) If you go to Profile for User: (Your Name) and click on Geocaches, then All Cache Finds, they come up in random order, which changes. Go to Page 2, and you'll find some of the caches that used to be on Page 1. Quite bizarre: Changing random order. Link to comment
+teamhodgson Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Yep it is bizarre. I wonder what determines the order Link to comment
jholly Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Yep it is bizarre. I wonder what determines the order log ID number. Jim Link to comment
+haggaeus Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Yep it is bizarre. I wonder what determines the order log ID number. Jim Not even that: if you take look at caches found by me, the 6/14 log #74103942 is above the 6/17 log #74409114. In general, browsing back works: 10 pages back I see my finds from Oct-Nov '08, but the order on that 10th page is also random. Link to comment
+mrducky Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I also recently started seeing incorrect sorting. The order of recently found caches in my private profile is correct, but I see two different places where sorting isn't quite right: 1. My public profile, at http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?ul=mrducky. The caches are not listed in the order I found them. They are almost in order, in that caches from months ago appear before caches from last week, but caches within a week or so of each other are jumbled up. 2. A "nearby caches" list for example http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.asp...;lng=-75.686767 is listed out of order by distance. Previously, they were sorted by distance from origin, but now they are mixed up. Caches several miles away show up further down than caches one mile away, but caches closer in distance are all jumbled up. mrducky Link to comment
+totalube Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 My are all jumbled up as well Mine goes top to bottom July May July June May May May May April May Etc It is across all pages, a bit weird Link to comment
+Crid Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I came here to say the same thing. I've not noticed it before today. Link to comment
+baer2006 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 This is definitely a recently introduced bug! Explicit steps to reproduce: - Go to "My Profile" (http://www.geocaching.com/my/) - Click on "Search for nearest caches from your home coordinates" ("filter out finds" or not doesn't matter) -> Result: Pages are ordered correctly (by distance), but the sequence of the 20 caches within each page is garbled! Same principle (order of pages correct, but cache order within a page is garbled) applies also to list of "Found caches" in own profile. (System in Win XP SP2 + Firefox 3.0.8, but I'm sure the issue is independet of that ) Link to comment
+BlueSkyMI Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Same problem here! Glad I'm not the only one. Seems to be only the caches I've logged since the outage that are showing up in a goofy order! Link to comment
+DENelson83 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Same problem reported here. Also, this page is not listing caches in increasing order of distance from my home coordinates. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.asp....997083&f=1 Link to comment
+Knight2000 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Give your monitor a good shake. Sometimes things get mixed up. Remember how TV's used to be 25 years ago? Just take your hand and rap it against the side hard. It should fix it. Link to comment
+Corey Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Yes, the order on the "nearest.aspx" page has been slightly out of order for a little while now. Link to comment
+c-h-b Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I think the problem has been fixed. Thank you! Link to comment
+succotash Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Right now, the list of caches completed on our public profile page is sorted by the oldest placed cache found on a given day. The caches in our public profile have been out of order for a while, but at first I didn't see the pattern in the out-of-order sorting. It's obvious now since we did several virtuals. They are all clustered together at the top of the page and the placement dates of the caches get newer from there. I guess JHolly indicated that earlier in this thread. No big deal, but curious!
