Review page sort order is weird

It seems like it's sorted oldest to newest (which is weird itself, why not newest first?), but it's not. Just looking at the first page, it goes:

1. November 3 2009
2. May 5 2008
3. May 22 2008
4. May 18 2008
5. May 5 2008

They're all from 08-09, but in a weird order.

Even on more recent pages, I can see stuff like September the 28th 2018 before September the 5th 2018.

@alligator: Yep, a lot of carousels are out of order right now! I'll see if we can look into this in the next sprint.

Thanks, @rorie. We appreciate you.

Hi @rorie, any update on this issue? The sort order is still pretty wacky throughout the reviews page:

Hey a bug was filed but I don't know if it was ever worked on. I'll see if I can refloat it but there's a lot of turmoil in engineering right now so it'll probably be a pretty low priority unfortunately.

@dtoast Do you know if engineering ever started to look into this? Review sort order is still very disjointed and weird.

Also, I'm 99% sure the site had a review for Half-Life: Alyx written by Gerstmann that seems to have disappeared. Doesn't appear to exist anywhere on the Reviews page, or on the wiki page for Half-Life: Alyx. Not sure if the CMS ate it or what. I only remember because GB wrote almost no reviews during pandemic times, and I'm pretty sure the only 3 were Gerstmann reviewing Rez Infinite, Half-Life Alyx, and Halo Infinite.

Maybe there are other reviews that are missing, but that's the only one that specifically comes to mind.

@bisonhero: GB never reviewed HL:A. There's a video of Jeff playing it in early Covid but that's it.

@mach_go_go_go: That must be what I'm thinking of. I remember Jeff having a random VR kick in 2020/2021 that I thought led to a late review for Half-Life Alyx, but maybe I'm just thinking of him streaming Alyx and talking about it on a podcast somewhere. Maybe Rez Infinite was the only late VR game review Gerstmann did that I'm thinking of.

@bisonhero: I'll see if I can find the ticket that Rorie referenced.
