MDL-79247 forum: Make discussion list ordering deterministic
Note that normally this doesn't matter much, but there are situations when we want the discussion list ordering fully consistent / deterministic. Specifically, when discussions (or forum posts )are created in the same second, or when the discussion titles are repeated, or 2 discussions have the same number of votes... (any criteria in general), in the context of testing, we don't want the order to be non-consistent, so we need to provide an extra sorting criterion to make it fully deterministic. So, in this case, we are adding a sort by discussion.id <<DIRECTION>> that is an unique value, primary key... so cheap to calculate and, that way, when the 1st sorting column has repeated values, the id will decide.
