Obsolete sort_queues in default sched_config

Dear Wizards/Devels.

The default sched_priv/sched_config file comes with a section looking like this:

#
# sort_queues 
#	sort queues by the priority attribute
#
#	PRIME OPTION
#

sort_queues:	true	ALL

However, upon start/reload the scheduler logs:

...;pbs_sched;Fil;sched_config;Obsolete config name sort_queues

The admin guide (v13.1 §1.3 page AG-14) explicitly states that:

Probably, the section should be deleted from the sample version of sched_config.

Hello Bjarne,

You are right! this can be removed.
It is still there in our sched_config because upon deprecating an option we still keep it for a few releases and then remove it.

I’ll raise a bug to get this fixed.

Thanks,
Arun

Just for the record, this is ticket is still open. And the error is still appearing in logs.

Thanks for the reminder, I’ve created a PR for removing it:
