What happened?

When I try to sort my library by 'Added At' Descending with no filters I only get the message 'Audiobooks Library is empty!'.

Sorting works as expected for 'Added At' Ascending and every other sorting option. Just 'Added At' Descending is affected.

I can reproduce the issue under different users in multiple browsers and inside the mobile app as well.

I believe this to be caused by a recent update as it happened directly after I upgraded my Docker container to the latest version (2.19.2). I may be wrong about this though.

What did you expect to happen?

I am expecting to see my library of audiobooks sorted with the most recently added at the top.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Open Audiobookshelf
  2. Click on the Library tab
  3. Under sort order select 'Added At' and 'Descending'

Audiobookshelf version

2.19.2

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?
