Issue:Ordermethod=lastedit / addeditdate=false - broken in 1.7.9 - 1.8.1

Description:	Ordermethod=lastedit / addeditdate=false - broken in 1.7.9 and 1.8.01
Extension / Version:	DPL   /   1.8.1 (and 1.7.9)
Type / Status:	Bug   /   open

Problem

The following DPL code don't work well - table's row NO sorted by lastedit (? may be by pagetouched):

<DPL>
category=ProductInfo
namespace={{NAMESPACE}}
include={VersionInfo}:version:release_date:known_bugs
table= class=simple,style="font-weight:normal"| module, style="font-weight:normal"|vers,style="font-weight:normal"|date,style="font-weight:normal"|bugs
tablerow    = align=left|%%,style="font-size:85%"| ''%%'' ,align=center|%%
mode=ordered
ordermethod=lastedit
order=descending
count =20
</DPL>

• On 1.7.8, this code worked fine.
• On 1.7.9 - wrong sorting

Thanks very much.

Indeed it sorts by page_touched now. This is the result of an effort to optimize (saves a SQL join operation). I thought page_touched was the same as the latest edit date? Is there a difference? Gero 13:05, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

But "last EDIT date" not equal "last VIEW" (touched)! I use this DPL query for show recent changes (as news), but for articles in specified category only.
