The per-feed listening order — the Order dropdown on the podcast page
and player — resolved its UNSET state to "native": feed document order,
which runs newest-first for classic RSS. This platform is audiobook-
first, so native started every book at its LAST chapter (verified on
live data: 7th Son position 1 = Bonus Episode #2, positions descending
through the chapters).
The unset fallback flips to "reverse" at every resolution site of that
ONE setting — the podcast page's list + dropdown (podcastOrderForFeed),
the player's feed chain (reader.go), and the download queue
(orderOverrideFor) — so the dropdown shows reversed selected, the page
renders in that order, and play/download follow. Stored overrides are
untouched (native stays a valid savable choice); no ordering semantics
changed; collections are untouched.
Pins: the flipped native expectation is changelogged in contract_pins;
new pins cover the sequence config carrying reverse, feed position 1
playing last, and the page dropdown rendering reverse selected for an
unset feed.
