Freshrss: Episodes from a newly added feed show up under the today category

I don't know how to better describe it. Perhaps this is per design. See screenshot below:

I have added the feed VASAviation today and even though there are episodes from last month all episodes appear in the today group.

This is intended behavior, per #1782.

Edit: also #2083, and https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/issues/1771#issuecomment-359195655

Indeed, we avoid per design the insertion of articles in the middle of existing articles (which might already have been synchronised to other clients, might have appeared in RSS outputs, or being used in the Web UI during a scroll / mark all as read, etc.). The publication date / declared date, is only informative and not used for sorting. This is similar to what most other systems are using, such as e-mail clients, (distributed) social networks, and feed aggregators.
To avoid the frequent user confusion, I was considering making an option to display the received date instead of the publication / declared date, in that right-hand side column.

Thank you both!

I don't intend to persuade you to change your design but FYI, the Mastodon distributed social network doesn't sort by received date but by publish date. I don't see a row of new messages on my timeline when I just follow someone who has a few posts in the past.

For the record, I consider changing a few internal mechanisms to allow sorting entries on other criteria, such as a a potential future hotness
