# Drafts gets pushed down when published

 * Thank you very much for a brilliant plugin 🙂 I just have one issue with it. 
   And it’s about drafts.
 * Let’s say I’ve written a draft a couple of days ago (Post 1.)
 * After that I’ve written and published post 2 and post 3. These posts are live.
   Now, when I choose to publish post 1 (the draft) it’s not at the top. It’s behind
   post 2 and 3. Seems like it’s the creation date of the draft that matters, not
   the time of publishing (turning auto-sort off solved this problem. But then all
   posts I’ve manually sorted went back to their original place…)
 * I know I can just sort the drafts manually when published. Still I wonder if 
   there’s an easy way of letting the publishing time count, rather than the post
   creation time?
 * Cheers 🙂

 * Hi,
    I see what you mean, the default order is post_date which is the creation
   time. I’ll try to replicate the issue on this side and make a fix if possible(
   if something is not correct).
 * Thanks
