 * I have code:
 *     ```
       <?php<br />
       $slidecatID = get_cat_id(get_option('scar_gldcat'));<br />
       $slidecount = get_option('scar_gldct');</p>
       <p>$my_query = new WP_Query('cat=5'. $slidecatID . '&showposts=6' . $slidecount . '$orderby=ran');<br />
       while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;<br />
       ?>
       ```
   
 * I want to sort post that will be showing from category ID=5
    I use to do that
   this ==> ‘cat=5’ There will be 6 post, I use to do that this ==> ‘&showposts=
   6’ everything to this point is working
 * But I want show only recent post, not random.
    want to change this one ==> ‘$
   orderby=ran’ I want sort the post by date, that the last 6 post from category
   id 5 will be visible on each page where the slide is included. Anyone know how
   to do it ?? Really need a help . . .
