Is it possible to disable the Sort by Age feature?

Post by Specious1 »

I recently updated to 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 and was a little confused when the queue started reordering items seemingly at random.

I tracked down the Sort by age/Automatic queue reorder switch, but none of the options in the drop-down disables this feature.

This has been driving me nuts, especially when items in the queue download in a different order to what is desired.
I have priorities set up for different categories, obviously, but it's very annoying when items added to the queue are moved to the bottom of the list while I am away from my system.

I have reverted to 2.3.9 for now, hopefully an on/off option can be added to future releases.

System: macOS 10.15.6
sabnzbd: 3.0.0, 3.0.1

When set to Default, it still changes the queue order on my system.
It was set to default when I discovered the switch in settings.

I will check again later.

When set to Default, it shouldn't sort. There was a bug in 3.0.1 with the priorities.
Maybe you can try 3.0.2RC2 from our downloads page.
