Error description

  • User is trying to use FTP Client of PCOMM v15 (and also tried on
    earlier versions).
    
    But when choosing a directory in the USS, and trying to sort the
    files by "Date", it appears the function is not working.
    
    Sorting by "Name" or "Size" on the other hand works, but not by
    "Date".
