Dear WordPress community, I had the worst night with the weirdest bug ever: My SQL db got reversed. Not by content, but by order.
The WP Loop now display my oldest posts first, and my newest posts last. I did not make any changes, and the bug is NOT in the WP Theme. I ran PHPMyAdmin, and there I saw the oldest posts (still numbered with their original post numbers) first, and so forth.
I have absolutely *no* idea how this happened, and even less ideas as to resolving this.
Help!

Me too ! All of a sudden it swapped things round....what is going on ?

A lot of people have been reporting this. I do not understand the cause of it yet, but a lot of people have also reported that upgrading to the latest WordPress fixed it.
Search me, I can't understand why it would suddenly happen on older versions either.

Okay, so where are really simple, non-techie, step-by-step instrux for upgrading WordPress and ending this nightmare where all the entries reversed to FIFO?
Feel free to cc me via email to: steve@tianodesign.com.
Thank you.

download the newest version and read the readme.html file. I upgraded by following the instructions in the file.
To follow up on this, there was a report that this problem is caused when hosts upgrade to MySQL version 5.0.51. The problem, a MySQL bug, is fixed in MySQL 5.0.52.
