Package: jpilot
Version: 1.6.0-1
Severity: normal

After upgrading from a m505 (using old MemoDB format) to a Tungsten T3
(using MemosDB-Pmem format) I run into trouble because jpilot stopped
ordering the memos alphabetically.

I tracked the problem down to memo.c function memo_sort() line 105:

   get_memo_app_info(&memo_ai);
   if (memo_ai.sortByAlpha==1) {
      /* qsort them */
      qsort(sort_memol, count, sizeof(MemoList *), memo_compare);
   }

In my Palm I switched to alphabetical sorting in the Memos
application, but memo_ai.sortByAlpha always returns 0, so my memos are
not sorted in jpilot (but in the Palm).

I fear that this may be a bug in libpisock, but I'm not familiar with
that code and didn't notice the problem in other applications.  Maybe
sortByAlpha is only supported by the old MemoDB format but not by the
new MemosDB-Pmem?

The bug is annoying with jpilot especially because I cannot manually
sort the memos in jpilot nor can I force jpilot to sort alphabetically
(except by patching the source, what I did for personal use now).

Tschoeeee

PS: jpilot 1.6.1 is already released upstream and offers the ability
    to edit the Memo categories.
