Sometime between version 1.4.1 and 1.5.0, a bug was introduced, that affects how Tasks are shown in the dashboard, for both transfers and sips.

It may be related to the move to django based orm for all db queries, that happened between 1.4 and 1.5.

The impact is minor, in the ui, a bit confusing but nothing breaks. There is a chance, however, that the status endpoint in the dashboard rest api could be affected. Currently, status is set based on a particular Task being listed last. If the order is changed, the status may not get reported as complete, which would break things depending on that, like the automation tools.

So this is worth investigating before the 1.6.0 release.
