This is a long-standing issue. We’re aware. It actually looks like we’re implementing a ~~fox~~ fix for this in the current sprint, so expect a fix in 8.1.5.

I'll be sure to lock up my chickens!

Also, this sorting issue wouldn't happen to have anything to do with this, would it? 😁

JS comes with plenty of its own warts, even before you get into our stupid date formats...
