Resolution: Won't Fix
State: Closed
Summary:
Post Date ordering does not always work on entries page in admin
Detailed Description:
When you click on Post Date in the Entries screen of the admin area, the posts
should order themselves in date order descending.

If you set Date Format String in Global Settings to something like %Y-%m-%d the
ordering does work, because dates show something like 2015-01-11.

However if you have set Date Format String in Global Settings to something like
%e %B %Y the ordering does not work because dates show something like 11 January
2015.

I believe this is because the browser simply orders by alphabetical reverse.

The Post Date ordering should work regardless of the setting of Date Format
String in Global Settings.

This is because the tablesorter stuff does string sorting, and knows nothing
about dates.
I am going to remove the tablesorter stuff in subsequent releases
