# [Plugin: WP Carousel] Carousel Category Order

 * Hi All,
 * Firstly (and most importantly this is a great plugin!) – I’m using version 0.53.
   From the backend, I have dragged the ‘Items’ block to my Carousel within the 
   Carousel options page – this allows me to show posts from specific categories
   within my carousel.
 * The carousel is currently featured on [http://www.zitamenyhart.com/press](http://www.zitamenyhart.com/press)
 * The items block is configured to show the newest items first from the given category(
   Press Releases) but for some reason, the order is random.
 * To give you an idea this is the the order in the Posts section of WordPress):
 * Press Release 1 – Date: 2010/09/01
    Press Release 2 – Date: 2010/08/01 Press 
   Release 3 – Date: 2010/05/01 Press Release 4 – Date: 2010/04/28 Press Release
   5 – Date: 2009/10/01 Press Release 6 – Date: 2009/03/20 Press Release 7 – Date:
   2009/01/01 Press Release 8 – Date: 2009/01/01
 * However, WPCarousel displays them in this order:
 * Press Release 2 – Date: 2010/08/01
    Press Release 1 – Date: 2010/09/01 Press 
   Release 8 – Date: 2009/01/01 Press Release 7 – Date: 2009/01/01 Press Release
   6 – Date: 2009/03/20 Press Release 5 – Date: 2009/10/01 Press Release 3 – Date:
   2010/05/01 Press Release 4 – Date: 2010/04/28
 * Can someone help me with this in case I’m doing something wrong.
 * Thanks.

 * That is a known bug of WP Carousel 0.5.x: WP Carousel orders content by ID, not
   by date.
 * This bug is fixed in WP Carousel 1.0 (Beta 1 and following versions), so if you
   need to use that feature, update to the Beta (I think the Beta is pretty stable).

 * Hi sumolari,
 * Thanks for your feedback. I’m not always that keen to be a crash test dummy for
   betas (I guess someone has to) but I took your advice (plus I was getting desperate)
   and downloaded the beta…
 * Firstly, the fix is in place so that’s definitely good news.
 * Secondly, there are some really cool improvements to the admin gui and the additional
   themes to really complete this plugin – I’m very impressed and happy to continue
   using this version.
 * Thanks again!
