Recently described videos not sorting in proper reverse chronological order #57

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. load http://youdescribe.ski.org/test/search.php
2. inspect list of recently contributed content.
3. notice that the three descriptions for the video called Perception are 
Keith, Owen, and justdescribe from top to bottom. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I am quite sure that justdescribe recorded her description more recently than 
either Keith or Owen. I also suspect that Keith recorded his description after 
Owen. These should be in the reverse order, and I believe should not be 
grouped, because other videos were described in the mean time. 

Videos should be listed in order starting with most recently described, and 
proceeding back in time as you read down the search results. No other sort 
criteria or grouping should be imposed.

This is better fixed by a change in the API.

We discussed whether it's better to:

1/. keep all descriptions of a particular video together in the search list
2/. sort purely by description modification date, so that if a user adds a 
description to a video, only his/her description goes to the top of the list.

Currently, the search order is implemented in the DVX2 API 'searchTable' as 
option (1).

Ultimately, it might be a better user experience to only list the videos in the 
search table, with a way to click and expand a list of one or more descriptions 
for a given video. We should consider whether this 3rd option, or option (2) is 
worth implementing.

As Josh originally stated, the sort order is incorrect. The most-recently 
described video ends up at the top of the list, but if more than one person has 
described that video, then the order of describers is least-recent to 
most-recent (i.e. it is reversed).
