PostList – Order Not Working

A link to download the plugin will help others help you.

Per Michael’s suggestion…

Can confirm that the Order the posts in the list by this field (orderby) does NOT work when using post_title or post_content.

My problem is that post_date is not working, no matter what I do it is listing by oldest post first.

Dumb question but did you change the Ascending/Descending settings?

If you use MySQL 5.0.51 this could cause the problem: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/154622?replies=6
Updating your MySQL should fix it than…

I had the same problem. Fixed it by first making sure “Activate by Expert Mode” was unchecked (I really overestimated my abilities!). Then after you select your list, go to the area for “Order the posts in the list by this field” and choose from the drop down “EC3 Start.” I also changed “Order the List of Post” to ascending order.

If EC3 Start isn’t listed on the drop down, you could always turn the Expert Mode back on, go to the same field and type in “ec3_start.”

Hope this helps
