using revision is best. And it should work. I just saw the threads and it
does not make much sense to me.  It works fine on my setup, but I am not up
to date. Maybe someone changed "int(revision)" to "revision" in this
codepath, which would cause that issue.

There are a few problems with the "order by time".  Last time I looked at
the code it was comparing the time when the build started with the time in
the changes.  This works for most small projects, but if you have a lot of
revisions coming in, and your builders are lagging behind, it is not true
that when a build starts all the revision committed until that time will
make it in.
