   I have both iPhone and iPad app. But on the iPad app posts won't show ordered by date. I have already re-installed the app. Any suggestion?

   Regards

   This may be a problem with the post/page ID's remotely - that they're not in order or otherwise differing, making the app not render them chronologically. I'd recommend checking the post ID's for patterns and checking the actual post dates on the posts (have you switched time zones recently?).

   I'm not pretty sure if that could be the problem, because the iPhone app shows me the posts chronologically. And I have not switched time zones recently.

   I have the same problem on iPad. The order of the posts in the posts list is random. It doesn't honour chronology or any other order.

   Would be nice if we could order the posts A-Z or chronologically. Any suggestions anyone?

   Does the order change when you refresh?
   Do you have any plugins installed?

   Hi Jorge,

   The order does not change when I refresh on iPad.

   Bizarrely, the order of posts is different on iPhone compared to iPad. Both have seemingly no definable order.

   On iPhone, when I view the list of posts, the most recent post is at the very bottom of the list, meaning I have to scroll for ages to see the most recent post. The previous 4 posts above it are exactly in the right order, then everything after that falls apart in terms of order. No chronology, no A-Z etc.

   I have 7 widgets installed on the blog:

   * Search
   * Recent posts
   * Categories
   * Tag cloud
   * Calendar
   * Archives
   * Milestone

   I'm pretty stumped at the moment but happy to help with any other information.

   Any thoughts?

   What's the URL of the blog?

   This sounds really weird, but I remember hearing about something similar in the past.

   The posts should be ordered by date. The only thing that makes sense looking at the code would be some error handling time zones, but that'd account for a few hours of difference, not having the last post at the bottom

   The posts on the post list have a timestamp, are they showing the same values on iPhone and iPad. Are hey the correct dates?

   It'd probably help to enable "Extra debug", refresh the posts list, and get a log file:

   Hi!
   Thank you for your recent responses. But the bug was already solved in some update early this year.

   Regards
