Projects without deadlines are sorted #116

Open nus-pe-bot opened 2 years ago

nus-pe-bot commented 2 years ago

When sorting by date, project -s d/0 allows the projects without deadline to remain at the top image.png

while project -s d/1pushes the projects without deadline to the bottom of the list image.png

This implies that projects without deadline have a "shorter deadline" that any project with a deadline. Projects without deadline should consistently be at the top or at the bottom of the list regardless of d/0 or d/1 and should not be sorted with the rest of the projects that have a deadline.

Team's Response

Thanks for the suggestion! Our team acknowledges that the sorting order of empty deadlines can cause inconvenience and it would be better to place them at the top or bottom of the list. However, the application already separates the projects with deadlines from those without, and thus can still scroll past the empty deadlines and access the other projects with deadlines. It is also clearly stated that the project has "No deadline" and the user is very unlikely to misunderstand that projects with no deadlines have deadlines shorter than others. Furthermore, most projects in a company consist of a deadline and it is not very common for our target users to be using projects with no deadline, therefore it only causes minor inconvenience and should be of 'Low' severity rather than 'Medium'.
