# List latest posts

 * Hello,
 * I’m just trying to list my latest posts – whether they are individual ones or
   part of a series. But for example, the last 6 posts I created do not get listed
   on the frontend as the last 6 posts – sometimes the first part of a series gets
   listed instead of the third part even though it’s older. Is there a fix for this?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi there,
 * It’s a bit unclear how to reproduce what you are describing here.
 * Where are you trying to list your latest posts? The main content of your site
   in the frontend? In the sidebar on the frontend of your site?
 * How are you trying to list your latest posts? Via custom code that is written
   for your site? Using WordPress core functions? Using a plugin’s shortcode? A 
   custom theme? A custom block?
 * Are the 6 posts you created part of a series? Are only a few of them part of 
   a series? Are you wanting the list of posts on the frontend to be ordered by 
   the series part, instead of the date they were published (which is the default
   for WordPress)?

 * Hello,
 * I’ve created a category called latest videos and I’m using the following code
   in the homepage template to show the list:
 *     ```
       <?php $catquery = new WP_Query( 'cat=21&posts_per_page='6' ); ?>
       	<ul>
       	<?php while($catquery->have_posts()) : $catquery->the_post(); ?>
       		<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
       	<?php endwhile; ?> 
       	</ul>
       <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
       ```
   
 * I have a mixture of single posts and series posts. So what I want to do is show
   the last 6 posts in that category by date whether they are single posts or part
   of a series e.g.
 * How to do X
    How to do Y part 3 of the series How to do Z
 * But if a post is part of a series it does not show up as a latest post in that
   category list.
 * Thanks.

 * Hello,
 * I guess there is no answer. Thanks anyway. I’ll look for an alternative plugin.
