Columns are not correctly sorted in Inventory History

Environment

Novell ZENworks 11 Configuration Management Support Pack 1 - ZCM 11 SP1 Inventory
Novell ZENworks 11 Asset Management Support Pack 1 - ZAM 11 SP1 Inventory

Situation

In Inventory History (Inventory tab for device > Detailed Hardware/Software Inventory> history) when clicking on a column heading, the columns do not appear to be correctly sorted.

Resolution

This is fixed in version 11.2 - see KB 7010044 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support

Additional Information

What is happening when the sort is being done is that the Item column is sorted first, and them for each item, the selected column is sorted (e.g, see below for an example that is sorted by date - the entries for "defaultGateway" are sorted by date, but not the overall list, as would be expected).
