Quickfix report for computer doesn't sort properly by InstalledOn date

[sebouh]

Pick any computer, navigate to the Quickfix report page and then click the InstalledOn column heading to sort by the date the patch was installed. I don't know what order it sorts it in, but it isn't date or text. See sample image.

Even with mm/dd and dd/mm varying, I would like to sort this by whatever data is in this nvarchar field. Occasionally I'd like to determine when the last batch of updates were installed. It would be nice if the items with the same date were grouped together in the list.

Look at the attached screen shot. Even though the InstalledOn column is what I'm sorting by it looks like it is sorted by the HotFixID. Bug?

The problem is not really that it's stored as a string, but we noticed that dd/mm and mm/dd are sometimes mixed, even for the same computer.

Even if the informatin is stored in a string, clicking the column title should at least sort the items by whatever is entered in the string. It doesn't even do that. It just doesn't appear to do anything.

This can't be fixed, the reason is that the information is stored as a string and the date format is not always the same for each patch.
Sometimes dd/mm/yyyy, sometimes mm/dd/yyyy
it's also sometimes empty or a non-date

This doesn't appear to have been fixed yet, correct?

Indeed, it's on the list for next update.

This doesn't appear to have been fixed in the released version of Lansweeper 4.0. Can I assume it will be addressed in a future release?

Yes together with another date sorting problem.
