I'm focusing on Blog Posts as shown on Profiles.

I understand that the Blog page on a Profile is ordered by blog_display_order as set by jrBlog index.tpl. That works as expected.

However, when I go to a Category the ordering gets kind of funky. They are not ordered by blog_display_order and they are not ordered by blog_publish_date. My guess is that they are ordered by _created (which I really don't want).

Is this correct and where would I go to change this?

Thanks!

Can you post a link to the category page?

Sure thing, Douglas.

There are a few where you can see latest blog_publish_date and blog_display_order are at the bottom. Here are two of them:

You are correct, it is ordered by blog_publish_date actually, but it doesn't look like this is something you can control at the template level.

I'll open a ticket and see if we can find a way to allow the site admin to change the order_by for the profile category list.

Thanks!

Sounds good. Thank you, Douglas!

ETA: I don't think it's sorted by blog_publish_date because if you look at the very bottom of the list you will see that the blog_publish_date is later than that of the first blog and the blogs at the top are ordered descending UNTIL that one.

It is set to order_by="blog_publish_date numerical_desc" are you wanting order_by="blog_publish_date numerical_asc" instead?

See that's what I'm confused about, Douglas, because what I'm seeing is:

Example:
http://livinghistoryvw.com/tatiana-dokuchic/blog/category/art
Which comes out as:
blog_publish_date 2013-07-13 blog_display_order 15
blog_publish_date 2012-04-06 blog_display_order 25
blog_publish_date 2010-09-30 blog_display_order 21
blog_publish_date 2015-11-03 blog_display_order 2

The post on the very bottom 2015-11-05 should be at the top if it's by blog_publish_date.

I would be happy to have these sorted by either blog_publish_date desc or blog_display_order asc.

BTW: I actually did put in a ticket for this as you suggested.
