@lcompx: How are you using the advanced search? If you just pull up Advanced Search, and search for every video ever, then yes, the same problem seems to occur when trying to sort the entire Giant Bomb video catalogue.
But if I'm understanding the suggestion from @tarheels2302, they meant "use Advanced Search and pick a much smaller range." Don't search the entire video library of Giant Bomb.
For example, I searched for all videos from Feb 1 to Feb 29 2020. This range of videos is screwed up on the Latest Videos, but this range of videos seems to work correctly on Advanced Search. Some of the videos are jumbled around, but at least it's only showing February 2020 videos, and isn't pulling in random videos from 2019 and earlier. There are definitely no videos from outside the date range I specified, and hopefully it isn't missing any videos from that range, but it looks about right.
So don't do an advanced search that returns thousands of results. Narrow your search to something more specific. If you are trying to watch a specific period of the GB archive, try to remember what the date was and just search a month or two at a time. I can't promise this works, maybe the metadata in newer videos is more correct than older videos, but I tried a few months from this year and they all seemed to work.
