 * I am trying to modify the function in order to enable the posts to display in
   date ascending. In widget-recent-posts-extended.php, I have tried this;
 *     ```
       $args = array(
       				'numberposts' => $limit,
       				'cat' => $cat,
                                       'orderby'=>'post_date',
                                       'order'=>'ASC',
       				'post_type' => $post_type
       			);
       ```
   
 * This does not work. Can you tell me how I can make this possible?
 * Thanks
