1Password for Windows sorting previous passwords weird.

jamiejenkins · December 2017

Creating new passwords for an item and noticed it is not sorted like in iOS clients (most recent first and relative time) but in some arbitrary way?
Perhaps this started in some earlier release as it appears to just put more recent ones at the end.
This leads to a little confusion when changing passwords and trying to find the old one to paste in a form with the new one.

1Password Version: 6.8.488
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.15063
Sync Type: 1Password for Families

Hi @jamiejenkins,

Thanks for reporting this.

We're not yet sorting the password history, what you're seeing is the raw list that is saved with the item itself. When changing the password, 1Password appends it to the item with its time, so there is no sorting saved within the item but rather sorted on the fly by 1Password when rendering the item. The list could be reordered differently by a sync conflict you had in the past where it merged two different copies into one to resolve the conflict.

I'll file a bug report to have 1Password to start sorting the password history with recent first on top.
