search order sort by date doesn't work

[needforsuv]

search order sort by date doesn't work with shortened dates
ie today hh:mm, yesterday hh:mm, mm-dd hh:mm, etc doesn't appear on top
only mm-dd yyyy

I registered for the exact same reason.

This sorting by upload date doesn't error in all scenarios, and if anyone is looking into fixing this will have trouble finding the problem without a reproducible example.

Here is one:
https://thepiratebay.org/search/The.Good...0PSA/0/5/0 (Works fine with 17 results)
https://thepiratebay.org/search/The.Good...0PSA/0/3/0 (Only 12 results shown)

However https://thepiratebay.org/search/%22The.G...0PSA/0/3/0 works fine by returning all 17 results.

Lily Labeau works fine

Evelin Stone works fine
https://thepiratebay.org/search/evelin%20stone/0/3/0

Riley Reid works fine
https://thepiratebay.org/search/Riley%20Reid/0/3/0

Riley Reyes doesn't show 2018 results
https://thepiratebay.org/search/Riley%20Reyes/0/3/0

"Rley Reyes" does show 2018 results

Aidra Fox doesn't show 2018 results

Missing shoots from my favorite pornstars is a crime.

I registered to share this same issue.  Searching for recent uploads and sorting by date does not list an upload from today at the top as expected.  I've noticed this with numerous searches.

Same here...registered for the same reason. I've noticed it is inconsistent...sometimes it >will< work.

I've also noticed at times it >seems< to work; I'll do a search sorted by upload (usually for "ettv") and it will show torrents from today, but then page two shows torrents from december 2017, then page 3 is back to current date.

Today, I tried a search for "ettv" (https://thepiratebay.org/search/ettv/0/99/0) and it says "approx 390165 found", but when I sort by upload (https://thepiratebay.org/search/ettv/0/3/0) it now says "approx 370509 found" and shows torrents starting from Dec 13 2017 and going backwards from there.

Same here, I searched for the latest episode of Lucifer within HD Video and with the sort by upload date all I get is a load of stuff from 12-12 2017. So I tried other searches and they're all the same, 12-12 2017.

As far as i can tell, because posts from this year don't have 2018 on them, this is what is causing the issue?? It's the only explanation I can think of.
Or any 2018 dates don't even register as dates at all!
A search for Black Lightning (the TV show) returns 149 hits, but when you sort by date, all the ones from 2018 disappear, leaving you with 18 hits - most recent being 2016. Definitely something wrong with the date tagging at the back end since the new year.

BTW the workaround is to know what episode you're searching for (eg Lucifer s03e14), but obv this is a bit annoying.

This problem is happening since oct 2017 at least ( https://pirates-forum.org/Thread-Search-...g-properly ) . If I go out on weekend, and back 2 days later, its a pain to get the new torrents. Some times, after many atempts, I get the first page to show newer torrents, but usually the next pages shows the date 12-13-2017 . Theres always the hope that the site devs will look at the problem, but based on past experiences, I wouldnt think so.

Interestingly, I've gone to a couple of the proxy sites and it's worked when the main site did not. Just went to https://pirateproxy.sh/search/ettv/0/3/0 today and it sorted correctly and didn't appear to lose anything. The main site wouldn't work at all; sorting by upload toasted anything after december...17th, I believe. Too weird.
