message 1: by Jen (new)

Jen H (jeneeh) | 1 comments I tried to get the list of all books on a user's "read" shelf, sorted by "date_read", using the following query:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

At position 6, it had Antigone, a book that I read a long time ago but just added recently. I neglected to add a "date-read" for Antigone, so that field was blank.

I discovered that the output for the above request was the same as the output for a request sorted by date_added:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Would it be possible for the date_read to sort by date_read instead of by date_added, and put books without a value for that field at the end of the sorted list? It already has that behavior when sorting the read sheld by date_read on the proper Goodreads site ( see: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list... )

Thanks :)

Jon (divisionbyzero) | 21 comments i just tried this query myself on your account and the two lists definitely returned back different results sorted the way i'd expect:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

are you still seeing this issue?
