 * Hi, I have a site with several posts that I split on category. One of the categories
   is “site-updates” which is used as I document what has changed this month. Currently,
   there are only 6 of these.
 * In total there are only 253 posts of varying types. I order the site updates 
   so that they are in descending date order. If I list ONLY site updates in the
   posts lists in the back end, then the order is incorrect.
 * The Category page on the front end also shows the same incorrect order.
 * If I view the reorder page it is in the correct order and if I view All Categories
   of posts on the back end then it is also in the correct order.
 * Seems a little strange.

 * Just to add, I have looked at the database and the Menu Order appears to be set
   incorrectly in that the one I want sorted first is ordered 166 then 12 then 167,
   168, 169.
 * The one numbered 12 resolutely refuses to be updated! I have just moved it again
   via the interface, updated and it still displays 12. Despite the fact it is about
   167 and the others moved down.
 * There is nothing that I can see whereby it should be treated differently to the
   others. Can you shed any light please?
 * Regards

 * OK, after reviewing things in PHP, the display has now positioned that post in
   the reorder at 12. Now I have moved it again and it is where it should be.
 * So, all is good for me but there was something wrong that you may like to review.
 * Many Thanks. I will close this.
