PostgresSQL Backend - Database schema (date dimension table):

   Table "cubes.d_date_test"
  Column  |  Type   | Modifiers 
----------+---------+-----------
 year     | integer | 
 month    | integer | 
 week     | integer | 
 day      | integer | 
 week_day | integer | 
 date     | date    | 
 quarter  | integer | 

Excerpt from date dimension table:

 year | month | week | day | week_day |    date    | quarter 
------+-------+------+-----+----------+------------+---------
 2016 |     1 |    1 |   4 |        1 | 2016-01-04 |       1
 2016 |     1 |    1 |   5 |        2 | 2016-01-05 |       1
 2016 |     1 |    1 |   6 |        3 | 2016-01-06 |       1
 2016 |     1 |    1 |   7 |        4 | 2016-01-07 |       1
 2016 |     1 |    1 |   8 |        5 | 2016-01-08 |       1

The "dim_date_date_id" is of type date and contains values such as '2016-01-01'.

With one date hierarchy. date filtering and sorting works entirely as expected (using date hierarchy "default")

When I use two, hierarchies, however, date sorting only works correctly for the hierarchy which is used for filtering first during the session! Example: (now using date hierarchy "by week")

"Ascending" order is used, but weeks are not ordered correctly.

If I drill down to "Week" using the date hierarchy "by week" first, date ordering works correctly for this hierarchy, but not for the other one.

A note: The "cv-datefilter": "true" attribute is deprecated, you don't need it (use "role": "time", which you already added). Even if, it's incorrectly placed, cv-* attributes must be inside an "info": {} block.

This is not related to the issue.

Woah, nice catch. This one is tricky.

Thank you very much for the detailed bug report. Very much helpful.

Problem is from upstream ui-grid: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-grid/issues/4683 , so I reported it and worked around it.

Woah, nice catch. This one is tricky.

My users will find every bug ;) Works as expected for me so far, thanks for the fix!

Reopened: fix to grid sort function cache was incomplete. If two grids are loaded, clicking on a column in grid A could affect sorting in grid B.

Closing as this is fixed in devel and is now superseded by #95 . This fix will be included in the next release.
