I want to use a K2 category page to list K2 items that belong to a particular category. In this case, a gardening club. This is the page: gravity.oldottawasouth.ca/green-dreamers .

I created the articles manually, and gave them their original "Creation Date" and "Start Publishing Date" in the Publishing and Metadata tab of the item edit page.

Then I set the category's "Other Layout Option" Item ordering to "Most recent first". I also ensured that the category is not inheriting display options from any other category.

But I cannot get the most recent post to the top of the page.

If I create the listing as a K2 Content module, everything works as expected -- items are sorted from most to least recent.

But that seems a needless bit of complexity and would require more stylesheet work.

What am I missing?

Hello Chris,

Make sure that the menu item does not have a different ordering setting.

Oh for crying out loud. Well, sir those are a bunch of keystrokes of your life that you're not getting back. And for that I apologize.

However that's exactly what the problem was. And I am grateful to you for setting me on the right course. However obvious it may have been.

Thanks.

Chris it happens to all of us and it has happened to personally to me as well, so it's not a big deal :)
Best of luck with your project.
