feel very stupid…schoolboy error!
ive nailed it…had a conflicting plugin installed called ‘Custom Page Order’ this was affecting the order of the posts. THanks for your help 🙂
no other loops on the page, thats why im getting so frustrated and am also using the latest version of WP – Really strange as the order does keep changing intermittently although never into the latest post order i require….back to the drawing board perhaps…maybe i will look at using get_posts instead
Still no joy i’m afraid I have tried doing this aswell
<?php query_posts('cat=-1&orderby=date&order=ASC&showposts=1'); ?>
