  typically it can take several days or sometimes weeks to get a post together. When published though the first draft date is used for the publish date. Given that the reader sorts by publish date this could posts well down in the list and then go unnoticed by followers.
  Is this a setting I can change?

  The instructions are for “republishing a post” but the process is the same.
