Summary0001130: Snapshot naming order is useless
DescriptionSnapshots are ordered by weekday names, but not by actual date which makes a big chance to open wrong version of the snapshot via Session/Open or Session/Recent menu.

Snapshots should be ordered by date, but not by the weekdays. The version which is most recent should be at the top or at the bottom of the list.

Additional InformationThe screenshot illustrating the useless order of snapshots in Session/Recent window is attached.

Take a look at the screenshot and try to find the latest snapshot. This is only a small example.

Another example:
Lets say that we are working on a project for a long time and we made some snapshots of it:

1) Wed Apr 14 08:15:02 2004
2) Thu Apr 15 08:55:33 2004
3) Sun Sep 18 09:15:17 2005
4) Tue May 17 21:23:59 2005
5) Wed May 18 22:00:01 2005
6) Fri Aug 19 08:13:11 2005
7) Sat Aug 20 20:14:48 2005

And now in a Session/Recent we have the snapshots in a following order:

Fri Aug 19 08:13:11 2005
Sat Aug 20 20:14:48 2005
Sun Sep 18 09:15:17 2005
Thu Apr 15 08:55:33 2004
Tue May 17 21:23:59 2005
Wed Apr 14 08:15:02 2004
Wed May 18 22:00:01 2005


Which snapshot is the most recent? Which is the oldest one?
As you can see it is very hard to answer to these questions as the order is a complete mess.

Please change the order in the following way:
year month day hours minutes seconds weekday
TagsNo tags attached.

The same is for version 0.99.

I think this makes a lot of sense.

What about snapshots that don't have a date? Should they be at the front or back?

This was implemented a while ago.
