I don't know if I was smoking something when I posted above comment but sorted dates is "not" working right here (USA-N.Y.) either as of 7.9.7.9 beta .
The latest dates are in the middle, instead on top or bottom depending on sort up or down .
Thanks! I'll add this to the list ;)
Split, since this is actually a separate issue.
The prior report was USA vs EU date format.
Not forgotten. Finally will be addressed.
