   Hi

   Does anyone know if its possible to sort Miniposts by publication date, showing the oldest post first?

   Many thanks.

   Didn't test this but:
   

   <?php
   $args=array(
     'meta_key' => '_mini_post',
     'order' => 'ASC',
     'post_type' => 'post',
     'post_status' => 'publish',
     'posts_per_page' => -1,
     'caller_get_posts'=> 1
   );
   $my_query = null;
   $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
   if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
     echo 'List of mini posts';
     while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
       <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
       <?php
     endwhile;
   }
   wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>

   Hi - thank you so much for that. I'm afraid my php is a bit limited. I tried adding it but created a fatal error. Is there a particular place in the code it needs to go in? I couldn't see anything about a sort order but I may well have missed it.

   The 'order' clause does the sorting.

   Consider downloading and installing Otto's PHP Code Widget, then put that code in one of those widgets.
