Description

I appreciate that this is similar to other requests about date ranges and so forth, but I believe it is a distinct issue.

We have an issues filter that shows items due in the next 14 days (we use it with the reminder emails plugin). The query includes a filter "Due Date" + "in less than" + "14 days".

Some items are overdue - that is, in my mind, they are due in -n days. As any negative integer is less than 14, my assumption was that they would be included - however they're not.

Is this expected behaviour? I appreciate that this may be a decision taken during development rather than a bug, but if so then I cannot see a way to include items that are overdue in the same query.

If this is expected behaviour, I suppose this could be merged with #3868 (it could be achieved with two filters combined with an OR operator), however I suspect that I'm not the only person who would think that -n < n in this respect.
