Notifications are displayed in inverse order

I originally reported this for the 2.0 version in Ubuntu Karmic,
but I just want to register that the issue still happens in current
trunk as Lucid release is approaching.

This bug is still present as of Lucid Alpha 3.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

still an issue?

Yes. I'm on Lucid.

Yep.

This bug remains on Lucid. If notifications are displayed inversely, they make no sense.

We have now several months after release of Lucid and the order is still inverted.

I see 2.30 branch linked. was there any commit made for this?

I'm on Gwibber 2.30.1 and Uubntu Lucid, and it's so annoying. The notification messages show replies and retweets before referred messages. It makes notification messages painful, because I need open the main Gwibber window to read the updates in "correct" order (from bottom to top).

This is true as of 2.30.1 in Lucid, as the previous commenter mentions. I just wanted to clarify that it happens in two different ways:
 * when messages are queued from different people, they are in reverse order. this is really confusing when people are replying to each other
 * if two messages are from the same person, they are put in one notification, but again in reverse order so that you have to read from bottom to top for logic. while gwibber works this way, I'm not sure that it makes sense for notifications to behave differently than other notifications as far as which direction you should read them.

I grepped through the logs of the linked branch and see no mention of this bug number, or the word "order". There are a bunch of references to notifications but none seem relevant. How odd.

I also nominated this bug as a papercut as it seems like a great candidate!

This bug was fixed in the package gwibber - 2.31.4-0ubuntu1
