Regression in filter1d?

Q&A

This is an excerpt from a script I’ve been using for years.
Last time I ran it was in September. No problems.

Just ran it again now, and suddenly I got an error (although the plot is apparently created without problems).

$ cat <<eof | awk '{print $1"T",$2}' | gmt filter1d  -Fm14 --TIME_UNIT=d -V -E --FORMAT_DATE_IN=dd.mm.yyyy

	Use UNIX utility sort and then try again.

It complains that Time decreases at line # 3 - but no, it does not!?

Indeed it does.
Thanks @mkononets.
