I have a drupal 7 site with the most recent updates to core and the views module. I am trying to build a view to show three pieces of content (training events) that should display the three most recent pieces of content, based on the date field set by the user corresponding to the date of a training event (i.e. the input date set by the user, not the date of the content’s creation). The date field to set to accept start and end times to show the duration of the event.
The view is based on the content type with the date field and I am trying to implement a sort criteria set on the date field in descending order. The issue I’m having is that the dates do not order as expected: the ordering that is output is as follows: March 7th, 2019; February 2nd, 2019; and then September 27th, 2016. The ordering is also incorrect for an ascending sort, with September 27th, 2016 followed by September 5th, 2016, and then February 2nd, 2019. The sort order seems to be incorrect regardless of which field I base sort ordering on (start date or end date), so I’m not sure what’s going on here. I don’t have the option to specify a granularity, so I’m not sure which value the dates are actually being ordered by. The ordering seems to disregard the ordering of months and individual dates, (e.g. ordering March before February in descending order, then ordering September 16th, 2016 before September 5th, 2016 in ascending order), so I’m not sure which value in the date the view is actually being sorted by. Any advice on how to approach this would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the export of the view:
