Sort by release date change

[delerium76]

On the upcoming games list, shouldn't sorting by release date give you the games coming soon at the top? right now it puts the latest dates (which are usually no date at all) at the top, and you have to go to the end of the list and work backwards to see the ones coming soon. Seems backwards to me.

release date is also a text field to let the dev enter crap like Q3 2017. they have to set an internal date though. the whole list is sorted by this date. earliest first.

the upcoming list at the frontpage tab is the same as the search result. the frontpage tab just doesn't display any release date.

Ok, that makes sense, but it's a bit confusing when you are viewing that list and the "Sort by" field is telling you it's being sorted by relevance. What does that word mean in that context? Since there was a "Sort by" field labelled "Release date" I would have never known "Relevance" was also being sorted by release date If you hadn't mentioned a hidden field it was sorting by. A bit confusing is all since there are two fields that do such similar things.
