I need my RSS feeds merged… Or posted.
-
Here is the core problem–I have a few RSS feeds that I need to show up as alerts–basically the most recent RSS item is at the top of the list, the next most recent is second, and so on. Is there a plug-in to do that, or in the alternative, any software which can do it and then spit out a RSS feed sorted by time I can link to?
Or, in the alternative, is there a plug-in that will take a new RSS item and convert it into a post?
As always, TIA!

Well, the big problem is that finding an RSS plugin is simple. Go to your dashboard, plugins, add new, rss and there is the list. The difficult part is in knowing what they do. I installed 5 of them off of that list. One would NOT import images. One would import images if you paid $79 a year. One sat there doing its imitation of the Dead Parrot sketch. (Playing, sadly, the parrot.) Of the 2 that imported images, none of them sorted your feed–in short if your first RSS feed has 5 things in it, and you have the RSS window set for 5 items, none of the items from all subsequent feeds would be displayed even if they had newer items.
And at that point, I gave up.
I would have preferred a RSS module, but I wound up going with a plug-in that takes new RSS items and converts them to posts. Not what I wanted, but at least it will give the posts a creation date based off of the creation date the RSS item was created, so I have sorted messages.
