Post likes appear not to be in most-recent-first order anymore

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m noticing both on wp.com and on the mobile app that post likes are not showing in most-recent-first order anymore

    When someone Likes one of my posts, what I’m seeing is “andykidd an X others like your post!” User andykidd seems to like all of my posts. But regardless of when he clicked Like, he is always listed first. I can’t easily tell who just clicked Like, because that user is now listed somewhere down the list of Likes. I can’t quite tell how the list is ordered anymore.

    It used to be that the user who just clicked Like was listed first. Could this be restored?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Let me clarify: this is happening when you click the bell or the recent-activity icon in the WP header on the Web, not on the list of likes that shows up on the post itself, if that makes sense.

    Hey Jim,

    Thanks for the report here. I definitely see what you’re referring to. I’ll check-in with the developers on this and get back with you!

    Hey Jim,

    This should be resolved now. Within the list of activity, the most recent likes should appear at the top. Could you let me know if that’s what you’re experiencing on your side?

    Yes, it appears to be working now as it did before, with the most recent Like appearing first, both on the Web and on the WP app. Thanks! -Jim
