Inverted date on album tiles with multiple months

[jsaathof]

@ildyria Sorry to bother you again with this issue but the change you made actually made it worse. Now the date inside the album is inverted as well. I wanted the date on the album tile to be fixed.

Now both the album tile and the date inside the album both read "May - Apr" instead of "Apr - May" which is more logical to me. I do give you credit that is consistent at the moment but I would have liked the fix on the album tile, not the inside the album.

BtW this is also the case in the new 5.5.0 version.

Thanks in advance.

Detailed description of the problem

Hi,

I have noticed a cosmetic bug in the display of the date for the album. I have sorted the albums in descending order of "Latest take date". The photos in the album are sorted ascending. The date on the album is printed inverted. When I enter the album the dates are correctly reported.

I would expect the date to be - (as a human) or be set to the ordering inside the album (although as a human this does not compute to me ;-) ) At least the dates are printed not consistently.

Album:

Inside the album:

I can't remember when this worked correctly but I know it did. Maybe this changed with the new front-end.

I am using the docker image.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. create an album
2. add photos over multiple months
3. see the dates

Hi,

I am sorry but I will have to put that one on the waiting to fix pile.
I am trying to no longer touch to the current front-end and am dedicating my time to the new one: see #2485.

What I will do in the new one is make this a configuration parameter: oldest-newest or newest-oldest date format.
However I will have to trouble you to wait until this is done.

I hope you understand. :(

[jsaathof]

No problem. I have been very happy with Lychee. This is just a cosmetic issue.

[ildyria]

Well... good news for you, I just implemented it on v6.
Bad news for you, I am far from being finished. 😆
