[Hackage] #492: report 9 sorts "minor" severity before "normal"

#492: report 9 sorts "minor" severity before "normal" ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: SamB | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: miscellaneous | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- If you look at {9}, and there are minor- and normal-severity tickets of the same prioirity for a particular component, you will probably notice that the minor ones come before the normal ones. This leads me to suspect that they are sorted in alphabetical order rather than the order configured on http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/admin/ticket/severity, which is as it should be (though the gaps in the numbering are a bit disconcerting). -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/492> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
