Hum... considering that:

http://www.zope.org/Members/shh/ExtFile/2.0/parseVersion

is returning an error, I would say that the fix never went into production... :-/

BTW, the relevant parts are now:

http://collective.cvs.sourceforge.net/collective/CMFPackage/SoftwareRelease.py?r1=1.15&r2=1.16
http://collective.cvs.sourceforge.net/collective/CMFPackage/SoftwarePackage.py?r1=1.17&r2=1.18

Does anyone have the needed access to fix it?

Either deo's patch was never put in production, or it wasn't good enough ;-)
http://www.zope.org/Members/shh/ExtFile wrongly sorts 2.0 before 2.0.2.

Also see #311

I just added a parseVersion method to SoftwareRelease:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/collective/CMFPackage/SoftwareRelease.py?r1=1.15&r2=1.16

cvs up, and it should works now... *wink*

Afraid part of the problem still exists.  We just released ZODB 3.2 final:

http://zope.org/Products/ZODB3.2/

3.2 has the right release date now, but it shows up at the bottom of the table of releases, and in the upper right-hand corner 3.2c1 is still shown as the most current release.

Just confirming that I'm delighted with the way the 3.1 and 3.2 releases are ordered now.  Thanks!  I don't know that the site's idea of the release date matters much -- if it does, the correct release dates are recorded in the NEWS files linked to from the main pages.

We are sorting descending by creation date (I think ;-) now, so that's good enough for me.  The product is now fixed so new releases will have a creation date, fixing this problem in the future as well.

Theres a (supposedly) good version sorting method here:
http://cvs.zope.org/Zope3/src/zope/app/browser/services/bundle.py?rev=1.11&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
(see the parseVersion method.)

I think that it could probably be integrated in the version sorting algorithm.

This bug has been fixed temporarily for the ZODB 3.1 and ZODB 3.2 products.  Please let me know if it looks acceptable.  I had to take the "modification date" of the release and use that as the "creation_date" (releases actually had no creation date, they were acquiring one from the software package), so things might be a little wrong but less wrong than they were before.

I haven't yet installed a fix for this problem that will make future uploads work properly (if you upload a release now, there's still no telling where it will show up in the release list), but will do so hopefully by COB today.

Knock, knock.  Anyone home here?

The main problem described here is now biting us at

http://www.zope.org/Products/ZODB3.2/

too:  the new 3.2c1 release shows up underneath the older 3.2b3 release, the "latest release" is incorrectly identified as 3.2b3 (it should be 3.2c1), and this appears to be because the Release Date attached to both of those is 2003-06-16 18:08:53 (which isn't correct for either release).

Barring a fix, is there some way to change the Release Date data manually?  I'd be happy to do that, if so.

Can someone let me know when this issue will at least get looked at?  I'm hoping to do another release on Friday, but I worry that all the same problems will exist.

This issues describes several problems with product releases.  They are all illustrated at http://www.zope.org/Products/ZODB3.1

On the right-hand size, there is a current release listed.  It is 3.1.3
and not the new 3.1.4.

The bottom of the page has a list of available releases.  3.1.3 again
comes before 3.1.4.

Each release has a date in the "released column."  None of those dates
appear to be correct.  It says that 3.1.2, 3.1.3, and 3.1.4 were all
released on July 10, but none of them were.  The first release listed is
3.1.1b2, dated Feb. 03, but the 3.1.1 final release was back in Oct.
2002.

The released column for 3.1.4 files has a link to md5 checksums. 
(They're correct.)  At least some of the other releases used to have
similar links, but they're all gone now.
