# [Plugin: Admin Post Navigation] The plugin skips entries

 * This plugin is a great idea and something I really need. However, it doesn’t 
   quite work… it seems to be skipping entries.
 * If I for example choose entry 1744, I would expect the previous entry to be 1742
   and next 1753 – those are the previous and next entry in the WordPress post listing.
   I have edit privileges for both, as I’m the author of both.
 * Instead I get 849 as previous and 1801 as next. If I click myself to the previous
   entry, the next entry isn’t 1744, but 1599.
 * This is odd and makes this highly useful and necessary plugin unusable, which
   is a pity. This should really be a standard feature in WordPress.

 * Ok, figured it out. The problem is the way the query sorts the posts by `post_date`.
   If some entries have an older date but a bigger ID, it will mess the logic of
   this plugin. If I change the sort column to `ID`, then everything works as it
   should.

 * Thanks for the feedback msaari!
 * Version 1.5 of the plugin introduces the change you made manually: posts are 
   now sorted by ID rather than post_date. There are filters in place to modify 
   that behavior if someone likes to do things differently. The post navigation 
   handling has been improved as well.

 * Is there any way to have the previous/next buttons go to the previous/next post
   based on original publish date? I can’t find any settings anywhere…
