[Der-Flip]

Reinstall apparently fixed it...

[cemrich]

Thanks for reporting!

This is a duplicate of #371 and fixed in v3.8.1, which hopefully will hit F-Droid in a few days.

[Der-Flip]

Apologies. I checked the issues page but GitHub was a bit of a diva apparently not displaying new issues...

[strelitzer]

@Der-Flip After reinstall of v3.8.0 leave sorting untouched until v3.8.1 is available. With v3.8.0 installed, delete app data and ignore sorting as long as the fix isn't available on f-droid.org or load v3.8.1 from GitHub.

[WebworkrNet]

@cemrich Can I install the update from GitHub if the app was originally downloaded from F-Droid? With some apps, there are problems with such a procedure. I think file signature is the right keyword in this context.

Thanks
