Poll Response Sort Order

Hi Joe,

On MySQL with 2.3.7.5 (.net 4) the poll feature always sorts the response options alphabetically, regardless of how they are set in the Poll Editor.

I tested this on MSSQL and it works properly.

Thanks,
Joe D.

Re: Poll Response Sort Order

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the bug report. This is now foxed in the source code repository for the next release.

The problem was that the person who implemented the poll feature chose to use "Order" as the name of the column and that is a keyword in every database platform, so I had to look up the escape characters for each of the other data leyers in order to ORDER By Order.

In MySql its ORDER BY `Order`, other databases use ORDER BY "Order" or ORDER BY [Order]

Best,

Joe
