Reverse in-game mod changelog order

Post by Deadlock989 »

On the mod portal, changelogs are parsed from the latest version's zip and are displayed in reverse date order, so that the most recent change is always at the top. This is most pleasing.

In the game, the mod's changelogs are parsed and processed more thoroughly, with options for filtering versions and sub-versions. But despite that, the changes are displayed in ascending date order. If a mod stayed on a version number for a long time but published many sub-versions, you might have to scroll past several pages of changes to get at what just changed.

Could the in-game changelog be displayed in the same way as the mod portal?

In-game mod changelog should match website

edit: my suggestion was a duplicate. my apologies! +1 to deadlock's suggestion.


Currently, if you go to the changelog on mods.factorio.com, the changelog for a mod has the latest versions at the top.

In-game, the latest versions are at the bottom. It's annoying having to scroll all the way down to see what the latest changes are.

I agree that it would be better if the latest changes were at the top.
