If this doesn't make a difference, and assuming you've not changed any template files anywhere you need to modify the query string to sort descending to fix this.</p> <p>Open up template_blog.php and around line 11 change this code:</p> <p><code>$query_string = &quot;cat=&quot;.$negative_cats.&quot;&amp;paged=$paged&quot;;</code></p> <p>to this:</p> <p><code>$query_string = &quot;cat=&quot;.$negative_cats.&quot;&amp;paged=$paged&amp;orderby=DSC&quot;;</code></p> <p>James </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/blog-is-sorting-ascending-not-descending#post-19034 Fri, 13 May 2011 09:46:33 +0000 apbonline 19034@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hello,<br /> My blog is sorting ascending by the date - so the oldest are appearing first.<br /> The newest should appear at the top..<br /> Is was working fine before but perhaps a recent wordpress update has messed with something<br /> Do you know what the problem could be.<br /> Cheers.<br /> Adam </p>
