Hi!

When I sort my aircraft according to age, I don't always get the oldest planes first. Example:

I was the first airline in the world, with plane #1. Later on I bought #3 and #5, which should be younger than #1. But somehow, #5 is older than #1, how is that possible?


Hese is a variation of the bug:

#164 comes before #186, but after #184. It isn't sorted alphabetically. Also, #217 is before #216.

Maybe telling the script to sort aircraft of the same age by ID#?

Player ID# 14837
WID# 2096
Aircraft ID#'s: 1, 3, 5, 164, 184, 186, 216, 217, 218, probably more.

The default sort order for age (Done by delivery date) is Delivery Date, Aircraft Type and Aircraft ID. Its likely that the delivery dates may be different by a day or two on those aircraft which would give a strange grouping between the Caravelles and a Boeing 720B. I will dig a bit more though.

Firstly, aircraft ID#5 has a delivery date of -21 (i.e. 21 days before game start), not sure why the others before it have a correct date of 0 in that case.

I've tried a couple of quick things to sort out ages of aircraft that look the same but I haven't come up with a good solution. Needs a bit more thought.
