Blog posts in Wrong Order – newest appear at bottom
-
On December 5 about 1pm CT (that’s 48+ hours ago), I contacted support regarding my posts appearing in the wrong order. I am not self-hosting the blog, and so the wrong version of MySQL cannot be the problem. Unfortunately, my inquiry still remains unanswered (and my posts still appear in the wrong order — the oldest are at the top). The text of my original inquiry appear below — and I still need help. Is help on it way, or am I on my own as I would be with TypePad or Google? Thank you for your assistance:
ORIGINAL TEXT:
My piosts appear in reverse order. They should appear in the descending order by date (newest posts at the top). I reviewed a ton of discussions on WordPress forums on this topic, and they mostly appear to point out that some hosts have an older version of SQL that supposed causes the issue. However, my blog is hosted by you. This doesn’t make sense, at all. Either users should be able to choose how to sort their posts, or the newest stuff needs to appear at the top of the page. This is intuitive, and this is the only thing that makes sense. So, what do I do?Your message is flying through cyberspace to us as you read this. We will get back to you as soon as we can.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
I’m sorry but we can’t help you here on the peer support forum. Your theme is a premium theme and we Volunteers answering questions on this forum have no knowledge of how they are designed to operate. When you purchased your premium theme what came with that purchase was support directly from the theme designer in the Premium Theme Support Forum. There is a link for the specific Premium Theme support forum under Appearance -> Themes in your blog’s Dashboard.Setting that aside, when we get this issue on this peer support forum the causes can be:
the data has been imported from another blogging platform;
the blogger has created a raft to sticky posts rather than a single sticky post;
the blogger has published only pages and not posts and does not know the differences between the two. -

Assuming you’re talking about http://tunedome.com/ , your posts are out of order because you’ve made two of them stickies. Just edit them and unsticky them.

OK, I see the problem, and it makes sense. Thanks!! What doesn’t make sense is how some of my posts became sticky. I was unfamiliar with this term prior to this moment. That’s because I never heard it or used it and because I haven’t consciously made these posts sticky. Therefore, they “became” sticky from the moment of creation by default without my knowledge. This implies that there is a bug (or there was a bug, at the time) either on WordPress or with the WooTheme that I am using. This is just in FYI for whomever is reading this. Also FYI for the same people: the fastest and easiest way to remove “the Sticky” from a post is to go to POSTS and then click QUICK EDIT next to the post that appears in the wrong place and then look to your far right: in tiny-tiny letter there will be a checkbox next to words “Make this post sticky” – just uncheck it and save the post.

I’ve never figured out why, but for some odd reason the “sticky” setting just gets activated. I’ve actually seen it happen a couple times on my test blogs here and never turned it on, it just happened.
Another of the universe’s mysteries.
