 * I’m seeing a problem when displaying dates using the “title” option.
 * If I display one post from a category the date displays fine.
 * If I display 2 posts with different publish dates and times they display fine.
 * If I display 2 posts, both with the same publish date (different times) the first
   post shows the date but the second one does not.
 * Is there a fix for this? Here is my shortcode:
 * [Category number=’1000′ method=’title’ order=’asc’ id=’5′ orderby=’Date’]

 * Probably because of this from [the_date()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_date)
 * > SPECIAL NOTE: When there are multiple posts on a page published under the SAME
   > DAY, the_date() only displays the date for the first post (that is, the first
   > instance of the_date()). To repeat the date for posts published under the same
   > day, you should use the Template Tag the_time() or get_the_date() (since 3.0)
   > with a date-specific format string.
   >  Use <?php the_time(get_option(‘date_format’));?
   > > to add the date set in the admin interface.
