From bug 19935 - the ordering for checkouts is: ORDER BY `me`.`timestamp` DESC, `issuedate` DESC, `issue_id` DESC When the automatic_renewals cron updates checkouts it can change the timestamp even if not renewing. We should have an order on the due date, or make this customizable.
Created attachment 170496 [details] [review] Bug 37636: Remove sort of pending_checkouts by timestamp Renewals or automatic renewal attempts can change the timestamp of an issue and cause a sort on this field to functionally randomize the order of checkouts returned. Prior to bug 19935 the GetPendingCheckouts routine returned items in issuedate order. Removing the sort on timestamp will return the previous behaviour and provide a more predictable sorting To test: 1 - Checkout some items to a patron 2 - Print a checkout slip - items are in the order they were checked out 3 - Renew an item,print the slip again it is now at the top of the list 4 - Apply patch, restart_all 5 - Print slip again - the items are now ordered in the order they were checked out.

I'm happy with the change.. but could we get a unit test for the ordering so we prevent future regression pretty please?
