Article sorting about raven HOT 4 OPEN

Sorting was fixed in an earlier release, and limit per subscription can be increased in v0.13.0.

They are all sorted by age descending, meaning the oldest ones are at the top (why?)

That sorting was not intended (The newest articles should have been on top). I think I messed it up a 2 releases ago. Would be fixed in next release. Thanks for bringing it up.

it seems like the app takes a certain number of articles from the top of every subscribed feed to populate each page and it keeps getting the next newest articles until all feeds have been exhausted.

The app gets all the articles from a page, but takes only 5 for the current page in the app and keeps aside the rest.

For example from this arstechnica page - there are about 30 articles. Only first 5 would be shown on the first page of the app. The next 5 will be shown when you click on 'Load more' and so on. The intention behind this was to not have overwhelming amount of articles from one feed and making other feeds less noticed.
If I understand you correctly you do not want to have this limit of 5 per page.

Yes, this would fix the issue for me.

Of course there are many other ways to arrive at a similar goal. My current news app on Android is Nunti, which has two independent methods of doing this. One, users are allowed to set a maximum article age. Two, articles can be up- or downvoted. While the app uses that information to weigh articles for a customized combined feed display, it also hides already voted articles. I'm only mentioning this for reference, but it has little to do with this sorting issue beyond how I use it to get as clean a combined feed as possible.

Sorting doesnt seem to be fixed. So reopening.
