Image Sorting Broken.

It's confusing and annoying, but it's not you and you cannot fix it.
I've tried to make sense of it and looked at the code. What I know for sure is that old images receive an new publish date. I.e. 1 year old images show up, if you click on it, the post is very old. Essentially old images are sorted alongside new ones without apparent logic.
Such regressions are hard to track down without a broad knowledge, so I won't find the actual bug.
What's important to know:
image browsing is impacted
visibility and discoverability of new images as well
Discord mods don't seem to see it as important enough to page someone.
I've completely missed this mess because apparently I browse mostly collections. :D
PS: The issue that images re-appear during scrolling is a different one. I have that problem occasionally for MONTHS.
