Hey Tom, thanks for providing a screenshot and a description of how it occurred. We extensively tested the filters and sorting feature in combination with each other and this bug didn’t show in our testing.
I just attempted to reproduce it and this appears to be a bug for specific edge cases—and even then only rarely occurs when those conditions are met (and can then be fixed by selecting ‘Newest’ again).
If this is occurring for you more frequently, every time you select a combination of filters, doesn’t change when you click ‘Newest’—or anything like that—I’d really appreciate more details to help us address the problem.
In any case, thanks for letting us know about this. This has been added to our list of updates, fixes, and other changes we’d like to make to future iterations of the job board.
After fiddling around with it a bit I have found out that it appears to occur if you sort by newest first.
I opened a new incognito window on Firefox, selected any filter (or no filter), sorted by newest, and the list becomes stuck sorting backwards and does not fix itself upon sorting by oldest. If I first sort by oldest then the ordering works properly.
Thanks Tom! We appreciate you testing this out to see what’s causing the bug. Knowing that the order of sort + filtering is likely causing the issue should help us figure out how to resolve it. If you spot any other unintended behavior from the job board, definitely let us know.
It must be the filters that mess with the ordering because when I select a few filters then sort by newest or oldest it seems to be incorrect.
