            Bug ID: 306158
          Severity: normal
           Version: 2.9.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
           Summary: Descending Image Sorting order doesn't work if Images
                    are grouped by Album (Folder)
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: senjas at yandex.ru
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Thumbnails
           Product: digikam

Descending Image Sorting order doesn't work if Images are grouped by Album. The
order only changes inside of Albums (Folders), but Albums (Folders) themselves
are always sorted in Ascending order.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Choose:
1.View -> Sort Images -> By Path
2.View -> Image Sorting Order -> Descending
3.View -> Group Images -> By Album
4.Create three folders and put some pictures inside of them:
Folder2001
Folder2002
Folder2003

Actual Results:  
Folder2001 is always on top, no matter what sorting order is chosen. So, when
descending or ascending sorting order is chosen, folders are sorted in this way
always:
Folder2001
Folder2002
Folder2003

Expected Results:  
When descending sorting order is chosen, folders (Albums) with image thumbnails
should be sorted in this way:
Folder2003
Folder2002
Folder2001


Use case:

I organize all of my images by dates, so every folder (which becomes Albums in
digikam) with images is named as a date (or range of dates), e.g.:
2012.06.06-Sunset_on_a_beach
2012.01.05-Brothers_birthday
2012.01.01-New_Year_Celebration

When I open digikam I expect the newest images and newest folders to be on top,
not on the bottom. So I choose Descending order. But it doesn't affect the way
Albums (Folders) are sorted.
