 * I have a CSV that has been ordered but when I import in WordPress post, the sequence
   is messed up. How to fix this?

 * Hey [@ingridwp1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ingridwp1/),
 * By default, WordPress orders posts by their post date in WP admin, so you can
   define the order by defining the post dates in the import file with 1 minute 
   apart, like this:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       csv_post_title,csv_post_post,csv_post_type,csv_post_excerpt,csv_post_datePost 1,Content 1,post,Excerpt 1,2026-01-08 2:10pmPost 2,Content 2,post,Excerpt 2,2026-01-08 2:09pmPost 3,Content 3,post,Excerpt 3,2026-01-08 2:08pmPost 4,Content 4,post,Excerpt 4,2026-01-08 2:07pmPost 5,Content 5,post,Excerpt 5,2026-01-08 2:06pm
       ```
