 * I have a question. How come posts end up out of order in the database sometimes?
   Like this:

 * I know it doesn’t affect the order of the posts on the blog, I’m just curious
   if anyone knows why it happens.

 * The wp_posts table holds more than just posts. It holds revisions, attachments,
   pages, and ‘custom’ post types.
