Change the last modified sort option and get a different list of files each time.

See the video example here: https://youtu.be/Xp7wyLXxUXk

Expected behavior

Files should sort correctly by modified date.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Win 11
  • Browser: Chrome
  • Version: Version 96.0.4664.45 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Interesting, this is based on the modified timestamp on each document. I'll check if I can reproduce it. Also saw a styling issue during your video, so will add that as a bug to the list.

A fix got implemented which sorts the files with the same modified date on file name as a secondary sorting option. I tested it in my projects, @zivbk1 can you check if the experience is better on your end as well?

Sorry for not getting a chance to test it until now. I know the issue here is already closed, but I have some questions.
On my site, the filename and last modified sorts are the same now. Is there data for the files that can be used to determine the date the file was last modified or added to the repo?

@zivbk1 in that case, I think it might be because of how GitPod works. Probably it checks out the project each time you load it, meaning, the modified date will be the same for all files. This would explain the behavior.

@estruyf you are correct, all the dates in the files are at the day/time the file was cloned from the repo. To fix that I added the following commands to my GitPod.io startup tasks (for a Hugo site).

tasks:
  - name: Install Hugo and Dependencies
    before: brew install hugo && npm install && sudo apt install git-restore-mtime
    init: git restore-mtime --force && gpUrl=$(gp url 1313);jq --arg gpurl "$gpUrl" '.["frontMatter.preview.host"] = $gpurl' frontmatter.json > tmp.$$.json && mv tmp.$$.json frontmatter.json
    command: hugo server -D -F --baseUrl $(gp url 1313) --liveReloadPort=443 --appendPort=false --bind=0.0.0.0
ports:
  - port: 1313
    onOpen: open-browser

sudo apt install git-restore-mtime in the 'before' step, adds a utility to modify folder/file dates based on their last commit to the repo.

git restore-mtime --force in the 'init' step modifies all the files and folders based on commit history.

Now when the repo is cloned fresh into a new GitPod workspace, the modified date sorting works as expected.
