 * Hi,
 * I’m working on code to display the links from the ancient Link Manager, and using
   the `wp_list_bookmarks()` function for that.
 * I would like to order links on date, so using `'orderby' => 'date'` but somehow
   this has no effect. I thought that it supports all [orderby](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#order-orderby-parameters)
   parameters.
 * But while adding a link via the Link Manager there’s no publication date available,
   so does this mean listing on date is not possible?

 * Hiya Guido!
 * Looks like the links table doesn’t store a date!
    [https://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description#Table:_wp_links](https://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description#Table:_wp_links)
 * The doc saying to use posts fields is in error. The fields listed for get_bookmarks()
   looks to be more accurate.

 * Hi BC!
 * Thanks (again) for your reply!
 * I only notice `link_updated`, but that only stores a date when link is being 
   changed.
 * It’s not a big problem for me, and it’s now clear to me why date isn’t working.
   Guess I had to check my database first before starting this topic;-)
