Right now it only pulls the latest X posts from a given feed. Let me look into this and see what I can do.

yeah, all parsers do that but I’m trying to list a feed with event items which have eventdate as pubdate, so oldest needs to show first.
I had the same problem when I used Super RSS Reader on a project a few weeks ago, I found this thread extremely helpful.

I used http://www.allenweiss.com/wp_plugin which has that option to reverse the order.
sweet thanks, that sound like a much better option than messing about in the core files of wordpress.

For the record, this is on my feature list for a future release.
to overcome this i updated the plugin like so…
following jp2112’s pattern of deriving short codes form constants (none of which really needs to exist) i just added at line 213:
$temp_sortorder = constant(‘JPGRF_DEFAULT_SORTORDER_NAME’);
$sortorder = $$temp_sortorder;
then right after this line:
$rss_items = $rss->get_items(0, $maxitems);
i added:
if($sortorder == ‘oldestfirst’ ) { $rss_items = array_reverse($rss_items); }
by default get_items() is arranging the items by ‘newestfirst’. so i just had the code reverse if the shortcodes asks for it to be.
