Body: <p>Joomla 3.9.2<br/>
  CiviCRM 5.12.0</p>
  
  <p>On the Manage Case page, the activities are now displayed in a clever order (overdue first, then the rest in newest-to-oldest order). I can imagine that this makes sense in some situations, but it doesn't in ours, so I need to tweak the code to have a simple ASCENDING order (oldest last). Previously, I had tweaked civicrm/templates/CRM/Case/Form/ActivityTab.tpl to replace<br/>
  class="nestedActivitySelector crm-ajax-table" data-page-length="10" with<br/>
  class="nestedActivitySelector crm-ajax-table" data-page-length="50" data-order='[[0,"asc"]]'><br/> (see also <a href="https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/10190/activities-pane-on-manage-case-page">this post</a>), but this tweak no longer has any effect. </p>
  
  <p>Can some kind developer please point to the part of the code which I need to change? Thank you.</p>

Comments.Text: That tweak still seems to work when I apply it. Some other customization conflicting maybe?

Comments.Text: Thanks very much for checking it. Turns out the problem is I'm a numpty. I was tweaking one installation and looking for the effect in a different one. What a noob.
