Description victorhck 2025-10-24 17:08:58 UTC 
SUMMARY

When you subscribe to a podcasts, the items are sorted right by date.
After few days if you refresh the podcats to show new items, then this are not sorted by date, new items at the beginning. This new items are at the end of the list... and all become a mess!! :)
(And really should be showed with the name of the podcats first? That hide the real name of the podcats)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Subscribe to a daily podcast
2. after few days, refresh the podcasts te get new chapters
3. where the new chapters have gone?? uhg, seems to be at the end of the list
4. If you remove the podcats and subscribe again, then the chapters are showed properly.

OBSERVED RESULT

The chapters are not showed properly, and it's a mess to look for new chapters

EXPECTED RESULT

To show always the podcats in the right order by date, new in the top of the list

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Thank you for the report! I'll try to have a look at this at some point, sounds like a relatively simple thing to fix.
Comment 2 Tuomas Nurmi 2026-01-10 11:18:15 UTC 
Hmm, somewhy automatic commit hook didn't work.
However, should be fixed now with https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/amarok/-/commit/47a749e7f0c736e6c4fbbfe83bf6d39a7369012b

Apparently a "GMT" suffix used by some podcast channels is not parsed
successfully by Qt::RFC2822Date. Fix by removing any stray "GMT"s. Could also
be replaced with +0000, but this would require more effort so any "GMT+0000"
format would not get broken, and a date string without any timezone suffix is
considered GMT/UTC anyhow.
