Sorting issues in Shotwell

Have sorting issues with shotwell. Pretty massive >80.0000 library in hundreds of events. Lately, the sorting of events does have issues.

  • Sorting ascending works as expected
  • sorting descending is a bit of a mess. Large portions are mixed. Starts with top beginning at 2025 and then sorts fine to 2010. Then a bunch of sorted events from 2025. Then sorted events of june 2026 to end of 2026 at the bottom.

Checked for correct exposure time/date in events. Minutely checked photos in events that are at the last correct sorting in event list. Checked db for corruption, all looks fine.

Any ideas?

That is probably some fallout from moving away from plain unix timestamps. I will have a look
