Sort by 'date added to fence' doesn't work consistently

Fences 3.0.8.1

from Stardock Forums

For a fence configured to be the default location for new icons, sorting by 'date added to fence' doesn't work consistently. I have a folder set to Date Added To Fence, Reverse Order, Maintain Sorting. Yet, new icons added to that fence don't retain the specified sorting order. [Windows 7]

Try using F5 to refresh the Fence.

Yes, I could that. But Fences is supposed to sort it automatically, without me having to to use an F5, manual refresh workaround.

I think the "bug" is that Fences doesn't count a newly download items that get automatically added to a fence as "added to fence" (with respect to "date added to fence"). So users should avoid sorting by "date added to fence" (since a bug causes this not to work for all items added to the fence) and should instead sort by something like "date modified").
