 * I’m having trouble with this code to list recent posts in reverse order …
    [su_posts
   posts_per_page=”3″ post_type=”post” order=”desc” orderby=”modified” post_status
   =”publish” ignore_sticky_posts=”no”]
 * It does not lists the oldest first not the newest firt – what am I doing wrong???(
   I’ve also tried orderby=”date” and that does not work either.
 * Thanks

 * I would try removing the attribute orderby=”modified” as the default is orderby
   =”date”. Sometimes I find that the shortcode caches, so maybe it is still showing
   orderby=”modified” even after you changed it to orderby=”date”. You can always
   delete the code and re-add it.
