#46423 new defect (bug)

Posts on wp-admin page should be ordered by date_gmt and not date

Description

I believe the dates should be ordered by the absolute value of time (ie, UTC time) instead of by timezone.

To illustrate,
Current post sequence

Two [@ UTC 1900 (my timezone is set to New York UTC-5 1300)]
One [@ UTC 1800 (my timezone is set to UTC 1800)]

Since 1300 is before 1800. Ordered by my date

Proposed post sequence

One [@ UTC 1800 (my timezone is set to UTC 1800)]
Two [@ UTC 1900 (my timezone is set to New York UTC-5 1300)]

Since 1800 is before 1900. Ordered by absolute date_gmt.

Screenshot. Of how 10:19 est and 10:20 est is not sequential because of the timezone change in between.

Are you sure that's what's happening? Aren't they listed newest first anyway?

That's what I get when I'm developing on one.wordpress.com when using VVV.
Confirmed on trunk.wordpress.test as well for version 5.0.0
