    Sorting issue

    My problem is that my rss feed lists news in the order they are created, which is far from the date of the news.

    I have a "traditional" datefolder blog hiracy. It's a new installation so news are imported created randomly in the date foldes.

    Archive
    - 2004
    - 2005
    - ..
    - 2013
      - 01
      - 02

    What do you sort after?

    Is it possible to select another property? I would like to select my own date field as neither created/updated/pubished are the right ones.

    Hi Jesper,

    You could add new 'DateTime' property to the news item and then sort by it.

    thanks,

    alex

    Thanks Alex,

    I have a datetime property but I dont think that'll do it. Posts are in different folders and I cant see that working. Ahh -  maybe the package uses @sortOrder? So if I reversed the whole structure then it would work .. I'm not gonna try that as it would conflict with other stuff. 

    We downgraded to the xslt version, fixed a problem with the guid links not being absolute and it works perfect. Only in xslt can you in minutes do a "give me all posts in subfolders, but filter on PostThisInRss, sort on umbDate, take the title from umbHeadline, fix the bodyText, add some info from parent node". 

    Best
