Import Order Does Not Match CSV Order

    Hi Takuro,

    I can successfully import posts through a CSV file, and the ‘upload’ dialog seems to show them being read in in the correct order, however when I go to my posts, they appear to be incorrectly ordered.

    For example, I created 20 posts, with sequential title 1 to 20 to test, and the posts are showing as (from oldest to newest):

    2,3,4,1,7,11,10,9,8,5,6,18,17,16,15,14,12,13,19,20

    Is there a way to combat/workaround this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yeah, also curious about this. The order is correct in success page and archives page but in the posts dashboard it’s diffrent. Not sure the how/why of it’s ordering them.

    Here’s a workaround I’ve been using.

    If you prepend your “post_title” content with some kind of ordinal text – for example “My Post Title” becomes “Post #1 My Post Title” – and correlate this with the order in your csv rows, if gives you some control.

    Having things display in the correct order in the admin tool is the purpose for us in trying to resolve this. The front end isn’t too much of an issue as we sort that through code already. Also, with the way we’re set up it’s important we keep the post titles clean and relevant rather than including a work around. I appreciate your feedback though.

    Still hoping the plugin author can offer something on this.
