Timesheet entries not listed in order during time entry session

[mcalligator]

In a time entry session established using timeld open <timesheet-name>, the entries are ordered by Entry #, but in alphabetical, rather than numeric order.

Whilst they are correctly grouped by Session, within that they need to be ordered numerically.

Interestingly, the entries are actually wholly unordered by the app – what you see is the raw ordering from quadstore:

timeld/packages/cli/lib/TimesheetSession.mjs

Lines 153 to 161 in 35323b0

	reportEntriesProc({ selector, format }) {
	// TODO: selectors
	return new ResultsProc(
	this.meld.read({
	'@describe': '?entry',
	'@where': { '@id': '?entry', '@type': 'Entry' }
	}).consume,
	getSubjectFormat(format, this.getSession));
	}

I agree that we ought to order nicely of course.

Ideally we would add an @order clause to the query, which would require support from m-ld.

In the meantime we can just order the results manually in the app.

From a developer's perspective, it would be a reasonable expectation that the underlying query mechanism return results in a specified order - particularly if there is a large number of them, and pagination is being used. So I agree; this should be supported in m-ld.
