           Summary: Commit Queue shouldn't sort by oldest modification
                    date
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

The Commit Queue sorts by oldest modification date:
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebKitTools/Scripts/webkitpy/common/net/bugzilla.py#L266

This basically means that they are landed by bug ID (i.e. when the issue was opened), rather than by when they were added to the queue. A fairer algorithm would be to order them by when they were added to the queue.

Here's an example showing patches with older lower bug IDs (oldest mod date) being inserted into the start of the queue (instead of behind the patches already in the queue):

Snapshot 1 (11:22AM PST):
#1 60715
#2 60721
#3 60722
#4 60729
#5 60730
#6 60746
#7 60747
#8 60751
