See the URL for example, these diffs were in this order. They were created in
the same minute.
Page history show them in opposite order, which makes diffs selected from page
history look very funny (or stupid, depending on who does the look).

The comments for the diffs are in the right order, but the versions are mixed
up, with the more recent one (currently the current revision) being listed
second.

The diffs show how the history is jumbled. The 0036 vandal edit was applied to
the article *after* the 0036 revert, but the history lists the revert and the
vandalism backwards (it appears like vandal-vandal-revert-revert when it should
be vandal-revert-vandal-revert). Some discussion occured at
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Lupin#Popups_revert_race_condition.3F
Lupin's en User Talk], where Lupin, the creator of the Popups tool, agrees that
it seems to be a bug with Mediawiki and not his own Popups tool.

Marking this bug as a duplicate of
Bug 2930: The edit history is wrong: It is based on timestamps while diff and
direction is based on revision id's
