Delta Time (Conversation) and Relative Tine (Conversation) were added as
explicit columns in Oct 2007. The columns were based on the fields
tcp.time_delta & tcp.time_relative (added in Sep 2007).
(Note that these fields are only populated if the TCP dissector preference
"Calculate conversation timestamps" is set to TRUE. (Default: FALSE).
In Aug 2009 the explicitly specified columns were "deprecated" and the code to
set them was removed (presumably since columns based upon the tcp.delta_time
and tcp.relative_time could now be generated via the"custom columns" feature).
Unfortunately choices for these explicit field types (Delta Time
(Conversation), ...) still appear under Edit ! Preferences ! User Interface !
Columns. Choosing either of these field types just results in a column showing
no values.
(I will look into removing the deprecated field types from the list of the
column field types).
Also: AFAIK any issues which may have existed with respect to sorting of "time"
columns got fixed with the implementation of "new packet list".
Bottom Line:
Undoubtedly a valid bug under 1.2.... but fixed in later versions of Wireshark.
