Order of episodes in global watched list?

Maybe I'm looking at this wrong, but if you examine the episodes I marked watched today at https://www.tvmaze.com/users/22366/louiswu/watched, they are not in chronological order. I grabbed the actual timestamps to make sure there was no conversion problem. (lists below are [timestamp] [episode id] [episode name] [translated stamp])

It shows as follows:
1620504819 2038023 star-wars-the-bad-batch-1x02-cut-and-run May 8, 2021, 8:13:39 PM UTC
1620491804 2038022 star-wars-the-bad-batch-1x01-aftermath May 8, 2021, 4:36:44 PM UTC
1620508197 1399069 air-crash-investigation-17x01-deadly-airspace May 8, 2021, 9:09:57 PM UTC
1620466157 1399070 air-crash-investigation-17x02-blown-away May 8, 2021, 9:29:17 AM UTC
1620466157 1399071 air-crash-investigation-17x03-nuts-and-bolts May 8, 2021, 9:29:17 AM UTC

Where this would make more sense:
1620508197 1399069 air-crash-investigation-17x01-deadly-airspace May 8, 2021, 9:09:57 PM UTC
1620504819 2038023 star-wars-the-bad-batch-1x02-cut-and-run May 8, 2021, 8:13:39 PM UTC
1620491804 2038022 star-wars-the-bad-batch-1x01-aftermath May 8, 2021, 4:36:44 PM UTC
1620466157 1399071 air-crash-investigation-17x03-nuts-and-bolts May 8, 2021, 9:29:17 AM UTC
1620466157 1399070 air-crash-investigation-17x02-blown-away May 8, 2021, 9:29:17 AM UTC

Thanks, Louis :)

Hmm, did you perhaps mark these episodes as acquired first, and later as watched?

LouisWu wrote 2 years ago: 1

Yes, correct. That's my working order for all (these) episodes. But the returned stamps and dates are definitely from watched, not acquired.

Thanks, in that case I understand what's happening: the entries are sorted by creation order, as in when you first did something with that episode (acquired, watched, skipped), subsequent changes from e.g. acquired -> watched won't affect that order anymore.

Technical note to self: perhaps if someone changes an episode from acquired -> watched, it'd make more sense to delete and recreate than to update..

Thanks David, that explains it.

As this is the only place where watched timestamps are visible, I'm definitely in favor of adding a few sort and filter options for that list :)
