Comment 3 for bug 773289

Hi Jean-Baptiste, thanks very much for testing this. To clarify, the reviews sorting criteria isn't strictly by date alone. In fact, it is first by package version so that reviews for older versions get pushed to the end of the list, followed by usefulness ratings so reviews that have been rated most useful come earliest, and then finally by date so that reviews with the same usefulness rating will be sorted as most recent first.

Based on these criteria, I can verify that reviews are now sorted as expected for Inkscape, Moovida and The Gimp. However, there is a caveat in that sometimes reviews for a given upstream version are not always correctly sorted by usefulness. This is due to a separate bug and I've opened a new report for that. Please see bug 777583 for further details, including a screenshot showing this problem for the Inkscape package.
