RSS feeds displaying oldest items first. To fix it I changed the comparison operator for the function sort_items in wp-includes/class-simplepie.php.</p> <p>It was</p> <p><code>return $a-&gt;get_date(&#39;U&#39;) &lt;= $b-&gt;get_date(&#39;U&#39;);</code></p> <p>I changed it to</p> <p><code>return $a-&gt;get_date(&#39;U&#39;) &gt;= $b-&gt;get_date(&#39;U&#39;);</code></p> <p>And now feeds display in the order I would like, Most recent date first.<br /> Josh </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/282099#post-1154847 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 04:11:26 +0000 superwad 1154847@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hello again. Can anybody please offer some assistance on this issue? I cannot find any differences between the two installations, yet the /blog/ installation displays ALL RSS links in reverse order. I added the RSS from the /wordpress/ install, and those were in reverse order too (though it showed a random set of articles). </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/282099#post-1118204 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 02:22:36 +0000 superwad 1118204@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi there. I still haven't been able to figure out this problem. Does anybody have any suggestions I can try?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/282099#post-1110379 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 21:38:13 +0000 superwad 1110379@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I have two Wordpress 2.7 installs on a website. Both are configured in exactly the same way (one is private, the other is public). The private install has a correctly working RSS sidebar widget. It shows the latest three blog entries. When you go directly to the RSS feed by clicking on the link, all entries are shown in a newest-&gt;oldest fashion.</p> <p>The public install does things differently. The sidebar widget displays the 3 <strong>oldest</strong> blog entries. When you go to the feed directly, it shows them in the correct order.</p> <p>The link to see this in action is: <a href="http://www.presstaging.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">http://www.presstaging.com/blog/</a><br /> The link directly to the RSS feed is <a href="http://www.presstagingresourcecenter.com/blog/feed" rel="nofollow">http://www.presstagingresourcecenter.com/blog/feed</a></p> <p>Hopefully somebody is able to help me figure this out.</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
