Question about last modified sort orders after sync between devices

[DejaJeff]

Let's say that I edit some contacts or memos in DJOA. I then sort by "Most recent, ascending". Okay so far, the records are listed in the order expected.

Now I do a sync (currently via DejaCloud sync). I then sync my second Android device to DejaCloud, and the changes come over fine. If I then sort by "Most recent, ascending" on the second Android device, the updated records tend to be at the top of the list, but NOT in the same order on both devices. Hmmm.

I manually checked, and all the changes did come over correctly for the records in question. Intuitively, one would assume that should result in an identical sort order on multiple Android devices after a sync.

What's going on here, and is this expected behavior?

Also, I've asked this before, but is there a "created date" and "modified date" in each record that can be exposed somewhere in the record display?

Thanks in advance for an insight.

Jeff,

The Modified Date is not actually a "Synced" field, so when you sync it to the new device, the Created and Modified are the same time\date, IE the Time\Date it was synced vs the Time\Date Modified on the other device. I will put this on our Feature Request list to discuss in our next meeting.

Okay, thanks. I was just expecting to see items in the same order on multiple devices after a sync and sorted by "Most recent, ascending".

Thanks for continuing to update this great app!
