 * Hi folks,
 * In the back-end, the list of posts is displaying in an order that seems to have
   no relation to ID, date, author or alphabetical order. This obviously makes finding
   and editing recent posts from the back-end a complete pain.
 * Interestingly, the RSS feed seems to have gone the same (exactly the same order)
   way.
 * Any ideas??

 * Well at least I can tell you that when 2.3 comes out (this week likely), there
   are some enhancements to Manage Posts and Pages.

 * Hi Michael,
 * What might solve this problem is a function in the view posts / pages display
   that allows you to sort by ID / Date / Author / Alphabet exactly. Shouldn’t be
   too hard. 2.4? 2.3.1?
 * Still got the problem though with the current display.

 * pould – if you (temporarily) disable all plugins, does the current display get
   fixed?

 * Genius idea HandySolo.
 * That just about solves the problem (now in descending order of editing). Reactivating
   plugins one by one to find the culprit.

 * Bingo.
 * The bad bad boy is DC’s Nicer Archives found at [http://wp-plugins.net/plugin/nicer_archives/#plugin_181](http://wp-plugins.net/plugin/nicer_archives/#plugin_181).
   The link to the original author no longer works. Have deactivated it (it was 
   a legacy plugin used by the previous maintainer of the site) and everything works
   fine now.
 * Should have thought of doing that earlier.
