About this mod
Fixes sorting of finished quests in the Journal that 2.0 shipped as broken.

Short Version
Enjoy a Finished jobs filter in your Journal menu where the quests are actually in the order you finished them (ordered properly, like chapters in a book), instead of a seemingly random mess.
Long Version
This is a small piece of code to fix a bug introduced with the 2.0 update.
Update 2.0 added many popular mods as official features - of half-added - and one such feature was the ability to sort quests on the Journal tab of the hub menu. (The corresponding Sorted Menus mod had since been taken down.) CDPR implemented part of it, a basic function to sort the quests by date (Sort: Newest) or by distance (Sort: Nearest). On PC, you can switch between the two by pressing Tab (not configurable in game menus). The default is Sort: Newest.
By default, the feature only works properly when the All quests filter (blue icon) or the Jobs only filter (yellow icon) are selected - the 'live' quests that are still in progress.
However, for the Finished quests filter (red 'tick' icon), CDPR's function ended up looking for when the quests' journal entries were created, not when the quests were completed. This is irrespective of whether you sort by date or distance. (Images show example: Practice Makes Perfect is always completed before The Rescue, but latter is listed first with Sort: Newest, because we trigger it earlier, and so its GetEntryTimestamp is older.)
This mod cuts out the problematic code - funnily enough, restoring the pre-2.0 behaviour of attaching a "last update timestamp" works perfectly for the sorting feature in the latest game version still, so I have no idea why CDPR even tried to do something different here.
