Activity History is sorting by LastModifiedDate in ascending order in Winter 15
Last updated 2015-06-16 ·Reference W-2396647 ·Reported By 356 users
Summary
You may have noticed The Activity History related list sorting functionality changed in Winter 15. This change was to resolve some inconsistencies seen between Admin and non-Admin Users. Pre-Winter 15, we were only sorting by ActivityDate. The sort condition for LastModifiedDate was applied later, and this portion was where the inconsistencies lied. To resolve these inconsistencies and improve performance, we made the change to sort the LastModifiedDate in ascending order in Winter 15.
Due to the amount of customer feedback on this change, the team has decided to revert the changes made in Winter 15. Plans to again improve the sort behavior will come at a later date, but for now, we will roll back the changes made to the sort order.
Repro
1. On a record, such as Contacts, create numerous completed Task records, minutes apart from each other, with the same Due Date.
2. Scroll down to the Activity History related list and note that they are sorting by LastModifiedDate in ascending order, instead of descending order.
Workaround
None at this time.
