21872,"RSS Widget, and all of fetch_feed() I believe, forces its own feed order of Post Date DESC",madtownlems,,"My events management plugin wanted to provide Upcoming Events via RSS.  I wrote a pre_get_posts filter to modify the order and orderby of the event's feed to be Ascending based on a the event's start date, and it was good.

Good, however, for only as long as you don't subscribe to the feed using WordPress (whether it be the event site or one on a totally different network).  WordPress, upon fetching the feed, always re-sorts the posts according to the post date.  Subscribing with something like iGoogle, will show me my upcoming events in the order that I've coded.

Is this an intentional design decision? It feels to me that the generating site should be responsible for the order of the feed, and WordPress should respect the generating site's wishes and present the feeds in the order it is given.",defect (bug),new,normal,Awaiting Review,General,,normal,,,
