 * Hello.
 * I think showing modified_time that is before the published_time to robots is 
   not good practice regarding SEO…
 * Take a look at your meta tags in case modified date is before published_time.
 * Additionally you are ordering the sitemap by post_modified_gmt disregarding the
   actual post_published_gmt.
 * Best regards
