Feeds sort in random order


Posted on Oct 27, 2008 by Happy Bear

I've tested to use feed43.com to create my own RSS-Feed of certain forums I'm following. This allows me to see the latest posts in a forum thread using a RSS Feed. The Feed43.com service only creates the feed once every hour or once every 6 hour however, this means that a lot of posts are posted the exact same time.

Example: http://feed43.com/1687800364735133.xml

Google Reader, as well as Internet Explorer sorts the feed as:

re: nyemmission- fel länk. nyemission! Köper om vi når 54,5:- idag... Go middag... Swedbank case

GRiS however, throws these in a random order, I guess this is because a lot of posts are created the exact same time in the feed.

Would it be possible for GRiS to read them in the posted order, when they are posted the same time?

Would love if you could do this.

Thanks a lot, and keep up the great work!

They're all thrown into a database, so the posted order is not actually known if they all have the same timestamp. Furhtermore, the google_id supplied for each post appears to be a hash, so it has no meaningful order either.

If you like, you can send/email me your /var/mobile/GRiS/items.sqlite file and I'll see if there's any obvious ordering information within the feed items. (or you can look into it yourself if you have sqlite)

I can see no way to make this work I'm afraid; marking as WontFix
