Bug 217

Summary: SDL_ListModes() doesn't return a sorted list on Win98 and possibly others
Product: SDL Reporter: kevinmb500
Component: videoAssignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: trivial    
Priority: P2    
Version: 1.2.9   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Windows (95/98/ME)   

Description kevinmb500 2006-05-06 21:23:23 UTC 
On Windows 98SE running under Qemu, the mode list isn't sorted biggest to smallest. Under X11, it is fine. I have a program that picks the first one and I noticed that it picked 320x240. IIRC, the snippet above was sorted reverse. Perhaps a quick qsort should be added to the general SDL_?ListModes function so that other drivers that may suffer from this problem will also be fixed?

This should be fixed in subversion, thanks!
