dns sortorder bug introduced over 10 years ago
As of Windows server 2012 there was a sort order bug introduced in the dns manager. All info is treated as a tekst string eventhough they are not. Therefore ip numbers are sorted wrong, dates are sorted wrong and managing the dns sometimes becomes a nightmare when sorting is needed. The solution is so simple, sort the original numbers, an ipnumer is a 32bit number. A timestamp is a number respresenting seconds after a start time.
Please fix this so 2 comes after 1 and not after 19 or 199, etc. 1 January2024 does NOT follow 1 Jan 2024, there is a whole year of 364 other days in between. Neither does ip number 11.2.3.4. follow 1.2.3.4, nor does 111.2.3.4 😞
I and others have started reporting this bug as soon as it appeared but everytime we got answers like export to Excel (does not help) and other non answers. How hard is it to fix this?
Today I need to delete some old dns records that were not properly scavaged. I CANNOT sort on timestamp to get all old records together. 😞
