No, it's not just you. Only the default, publication date, sorting works properly. Clicking on the other column headers produces nonsense.
hmmm... I just clicked on the headings - it seems to be sorted normally - what's the problem? Why "nonsense"?

Do not change the sort order, but leave the field empty. ;-)
fixed
I found it clearer to output the string “unknown”, or is it better to leave the field blank?

I've just looked again; three of the four columns - Category, Title & Updated - sort properly, but the Author does not. Is that what others are seeing?

Right now I made a fix that makes the sorting case insensitive - is that what was needed?

Thank you for that.

I checked on my mobile but the menu on the left is missing and it is difficult to navigate to the OXP list. If finally there it looks like the leftmost columns vanish as soon as I try to display the full list. Thus I can hardly check if the sort order by category or title would have worked.

damn, I completely forgot about this bug... :evil:
I won't promise anything in terms of timing, but I'll try to fix it

UPD.: I don't know what browser is used, but on my mobile FF there is a "View as for PC" switch that returns a menu. This is not a solution to the problem, but can be used as an "emergency" option.

At a cursory glance, though, the sorting bug seems fixed as far as my AppleMac is concerned.

Well done!

and... "Thank You"!

Rotating the phone 90 degrees so I view it in landscape mode also fixes the problem for me and I can see the left hand side menu.

Using Google Chrome.

Confirmed. In landscape mode it works to expectation.
But usually I have the phone upright. Especially for long lists.

Windows 32 bit support was dropped in January 2022. Related announcement: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=21352

Website updated to reflect the new minimum OS version requirement in the Download page.

Although for 1.90, we do still have the 32 bit Windows installer in GitHub releases.

True, but probably no good advertising it any further. I think it creates confusion if we have it up on the website when we no longer offer support for 32 bit systems. It can still stay on github for those willing to look for it, but I think it's best to concentrate on the 64 bit versions. I've updated the website text with the new minimum OS requirement.

@phkb I was wondering if you could maybe post a short blurb for each of the main features you've added in 1.91 (e.g. keyboard handling etc.) when you get a chance. I'd like to add them in the What's New page on the website ;-)
