Inverted date on album tiles with multiple months

[jsaathof]

@ildyria Sorry to bother you again with this issue but the change you made actually made it worse. Now the date inside the album is inverted as well. I wanted the date on the album tile to be fixed.

Now both the album tile and the date inside the album both read "May - Apr" instead of "Apr - May" which is more logical to me. I do give you credit that is consistent at the moment but I would have liked the fix on the album tile, not the inside the album.

BtW this is also the case in the new 5.5.0 version.

Thanks in advance.

^{Originally posted by **jsaathof** May 13, 2024} ### Lychee version v5.3.0 ### Which PHP version are you using? PHP 8.2 ### Detailed description of the problem Hi, I have noticed a cosmetic bug in the display of the date for the album. I have sorted the albums in descending order of "Latest take date". The photos in the album are sorted ascending. The date on the album is printed inverted. When I enter the album the dates are correctly reported. I would expect the date to be - (as a human) or be set to the ordering inside the album (although as a human this does not compute to me ;-) ) At least the dates are printed not consistently. Album: Inside the album: I can't remember when this worked correctly but I know it did. Maybe this changed with the new front-end. I am using the docker image. ### Steps to reproduce the issue 1. create an album 2. add photos over multiple months 3. see the dates ### Diagnostics [REQUIRED] ``` Diagnostics ----------- Warning: Dropbox import not working. dropbox_key is empty.

Hi,

I am sorry but I will have to put that one on the waiting to fix pile. I am trying to no longer touch to the current front-end and am dedicating my time to the new one: see https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee/discussions/2485.

What I will do in the new one is make this a configuration parameter: oldest-newest or newest-oldest date format. However I will have to trouble you to wait until this is done.

I hope you understand. :(

No problem. I have been very happy with Lychee. This is just a cosmetic issue.

Well... good news for you, I just implemented it on v6. Bad news for you, I am far from being finished. :laughing:
