   hello,

   i have a separate page outside of my wordpress installation in which i decided to list the last 5 posts from my blog.

   i thought everything was working fine until i made a new blog entry, which didn't show up at the top. here is the code that was supposed to list the last 5 posts:

   require('../blog/wp-blog-header.php');
   $args = array(
        'order' => 'DESC',
        'numberposts' => '5',
        'orderby' => 'post_date'
   );
   $posts = get_posts(args);

   instead i'm getting what i'm assuming is the default action - displaying 5 posts ordered alphabetically (which my former last 5 posts happened to be strangely).

   no matter what arguments i feed get_posts() it always gives me 5 alphabetically sorted posts. i tried the string format get_posts('numberposts=3'); even if i feed it gibberish. nothing changes the output.

   the only difference i can see is that i'm trying to do this from a php file that's outside the wordpress folder, in fact it's in a different subdomain on the same server.

   anyone got any clues? thanks.
