Sort Recent Posts by Last Updated date

Hi George,

I think the PHP snippet Tom provided here is what you are looking for:

Hi Leo,

I had already added that PHP snippet, and it did sort the blog summaries on my Blog page. But it does not sort the "Recent Posts" list that appears in the right column. The Welcome! post is listed at the top of my Blog page, because it was the last post that I updated. But it is listed last in "Recent Posts" list.

Thanks,
George

Ahh I see.

Unfortunately that's a WordPress core widget so you will need to check with WP's support team and see if that can be modified.

Ahh, yes, I figured that out. I replaced the standard "Recent Posts" widget with the "Recent Posts Widget Extended" widget and that solved my issue. I am not sure if that's the best one to use (as it's untested with the current version of WordPress), but it seems to be working.

Thanks again,
George

I've used that plugin a couple times and quite like it as well :)

WordPress makes it a bit difficult to update the compatibility version number so I wouldn't worry about that too much.
