Re: listtransactions output is not in order

Sigh:

0.10.0, this still doesn't work, even in the most basic fashion.

Tried "-zapwallettxes=1".

No change.

Note that this wallet is over 560M and has around 170,000 transactions in it.

[emrebey]

from the wiki:

listtransactions

Returns up to [count] most recent transactions skipping the first [from] transactions for account [account]. If [account] not provided it'll return recent transactions from all accounts.

you should issue a ticket on github.

I see you looked here:

I think your answer is in the comments above from 2013-2014 - it isn't supposed to be chronological and the code won't be changed.

HOWEVER, I would imagine you could write a patch and push it, something like:
listtransactionschrono

which would behave how you'd like.

I think your answer is in the comments above from 2013-2014 - it isn't supposed to be chronological and the code won't be changed.

I knew this to be the case, but now I think about it, Why on Earth does the listunspent array get sorted by TxID  when ....

1) TxID is a hash (ie not a value, per se) &

2) Tx priority is determined by everything BUT TxID!?


Isn't sorting by TxID logically equivalent to re-ordering chronological appointments alphabetically, from April to September?
