@Farah1 Hi,
There's too much system in the madness to be a mere glitch. I'm sure somebody seemed to have felt that it's a great idea having reviews shown first according to the language and/or country the viewer is from, no matter what year they were from...
Example:
Me a host from the Netherlands (NL) using the English language site.
I see first the few reviews in ENG. by guests from my country who stayed several years ago
(this even includes a couple of guests who when they stayed were from another country, but now live here while those reviews in Dutch from NL or Belgium or even one from somebody living in Germany are stuck at the back somewhere.)
Second in line are the English language reviews in chronological order. These then followed by foreign languages in possibly an alphabetical order...
Now, when I choose the Dutch language site I first get the reviews from the Netherlands in Dutch, then a Dutch review from somebody living in Germany, then the Dutch (Flemish) reviews from Belgium.... and then the ENG reviews, etc.
On the German site it's reviews in German first (I have a lot!), and then finally on page 4 the recent ENG reviews etc.
But in their little language segments they are in perfect chronological order.
Hope this makes sense...
Hilarious in a way, really
