--dev does not pick latest dev version

[ribasushi]

cpanm --dev Test::More attempts to install M/MS/MSCHWERN/Test-Simple-1.005000_001.tar.gz on my machine, even though _006 is currently available.

It probably has to do with incorrect ordering of the metacpan results: http://api.metacpan.org/v0/file/_search?source={%22fields%22%3A[%22date%22%2C%22release%22%2C%22module%22%2C%22status%22]%2C%22query%22%3A{%22filtered%22%3A{%22query%22%3A{%22nested%22%3A{%22score_mode%22%3A%22max%22%2C%22path%22%3A%22module%22%2C%22query%22%3A{%22custom_score%22%3A{%22query%22%3A{%22constant_score%22%3A{%22filter%22%3A{%22and%22%3A[{%22term%22%3A{%22module.authorized%22%3Atrue}}%2C{%22term%22%3A{%22module.indexed%22%3Atrue}}%2C{%22term%22%3A{%22module.name%22%3A%22Test%3A%3AMore%22}}%2C{%22range%22%3A{%22module.version_numified%22%3A{%22gte%22%3A%220.000%22}}}]}}}%2C%22metacpan_script%22%3A%22score_version_numified%22}}}}%2C%22filter%22%3A{%22and%22%3A[{%22not%22%3A{%22term%22%3A{%22status%22%3A%22backpan%22}}}]}}}}

This is because MetaCPAN API returns the score for these releases as the same value, 1.005.

      { 
        'fields' => {
          'release' => 'Test-Simple-1.005000_005',
          'module' => [
            { 
              'version_numified' => '1.00500000005',
              'authorized' => $VAR1->{'hits'}{'hits'}[0]{'fields'}{'module'}[0]{'authorized'},
              'indexed' => $VAR1->{'hits'}{'hits'}[0]{'fields'}{'module'}[0]{'authorized'},
              'version' => '1.005000_005',
              'name' => 'Test::More',
              'associated_pod' => 'MSCHWERN/Test-Simple-1.005000_005/lib/Test/More.pm'
            }
          ],
          'status' => 'cpan',
          'date' => '2012-04-26T22:28:07.000Z'
        },
        '_id' => 'uja43kGk2btJQ2q1DuKjanGxwSk',
        '_score' => '1.005',
        '_index' => 'cpan_v1',
        '_type' => 'file'
      },

But it will then fallback to the date sort, which is apparently backwards.

... and no, that was intentional because, for non-dev releases, first come first serve.

reported to MetaCPAN metacpan/metacpan-api#284

so now, for non-dev releases it's ordered chronologically, and for dev releases it's ordered reverse chronologically? (If so, that sounds correct to me!)

[miyagawa]

Yep.
