Sorting issues in gantt by date, not by id

Description

I can't tell if the prior issues (see below) related to gantt chart issue sorting are about new- or old-style gantt charts. I do know that the default 1.1.0 isn't very useful, since they're sorted by root_id (ie. parent issue id). That has little relation to the order that the issues need to be worked on in. I made a one-line change that worked for me:

  1. TODO: top level issues should be sorted by start date
    def gantt_issue_compare(x, y, issues)
    [(x.root.start_date or x.start_date or Date.new()), (x.start_date or Date.new()), x.root_id, x.lft] <=> [(y.root.start_date or y.start_date or Date.new()), (y.start_date or Date.new()), y.root_id, y.lft]
    #if x.root_id == y.root_id # x.lft <=> y.lft
    #else # #x.root_id <=> y.root_id
    #end
    end

I'm not 100% certain if it works in all cases, but for my DB (multi-project, multi-version, single nesting level issues), it works fine.

Hi Eli,

And thanks for your patch. Worked fine for me. I'll post here in case this breaks some use cases.

Update: the first line didn't work in all cases for me. This one seems to be behaving better:

[(x.root.start_date or x.start_date or Date.new()), x.root_id, (x.start_date or Date.new()), x.lft] <=> [(y.root.start_date or y.start_date or Date.new()), y.root_id, (y.start_date or Date.new()), y.lft]

Anyone knows if we can also sort by name? Or if the above patch could be easily modified to sort by top level issue name (instead of id like current or start date like this fix)?
feel free to move this to a new issue if you feel it's necessary.

I solved this by changing the way to insert issues in the Data Base. I just insert them already in the correct order.
But also I had to change the values of rgt and lft directly on the Data Base, because there were projects already inserted in the system, and doing this I guarantee that all projects will be sorted correctly.

Is attached the diff file and the new script i had to create.

This is a patch for trunk r10713.

This patch sort start date algorism is referred from Redmine Better Gantt Chart Plugin

https://github.com/kulesa/redmine_better_gantt_chart/blob/50c323fe8b6ac667c88b/lib/redmine/helpers/better_gantt.rb#L692

But, issues tree structure is broken by start date sorting.

Updated by Jonathan Vargas about 11 years ago

Hi guys.

I just required the sort by start date and then applied manually the first chunk mentioned on sort_issues_from_start_date.diff, to my 2.2.0 version, and it worked as expected.

So, could it be possible to apply it on 2.2's trunk or next versions? I see that a default sorting by start_date first has more sense than by issue_id.

Thanks in advance.

Use -p1 instead of -p0.

patch -p1 < gantt-sort-trunk-r11744.diff

And this patch is for trunk r11744, not 2.3.0.

Toshi, can you look into this? Seems there might be something wrong with the tests because this does not trigger test failures.

A better option would be to sort versions by version.effective_date || version.start_date. A version may not have an effective_date but some issues with start dates assigned to it.

Versions with no start_date nor effective should be listed at the very end. I'm not this is the case with || Date.new.

If it can help, here's an excerpt from #7456 where the idea was also to display shared version before concerned projects:

The shared version is tied to the selected project (also valid for "all projects" Gantt):

parent project -> shared version -> subproject -> shared version issues (including parent project issues)

The shared version is tied to a not-visible-parent project of the selected project:

subproject -> shared version  -> shared version issues (excluding parent project issues)

Issue sorting code within a version+project scope:

      # Compare issues for rendering order 
      def gantt_issue_compare(x, y)
        if x.parent_id == y.parent_id
          # Same level in issue hierarchy
          basic_gantt_issue_compare(x, y)
        elsif x.root_id == y.root_id || x.root_id == y.id || y.root_id == x.id
          # Same issue hierarchy
          x.lft <=> y.lft
        else
          # Distinct hierarchies
          x.root_id <=> y.root_id
          # TODO : advanced sort between issues when ancestors have been filtered out by query
        end
      end

      def basic_gantt_issue_compare(x, y)
        if x.start_date == y.start_date
          x.id <=> y.id
        elsif x.start_date.nil?
          1 # null date appears at the end
        elsif y.start_date.nil?
          -1
        else
          x.start_date <=> y.start_date
        end
