=== Posts by GMT === Contributors: rjl20 Tags: gmt, orderby, sort order, posts, post_date, post_date_gmt, utc, time zone Requires at least: 3.0 Tested up to: 3.2.1 Stable tag: trunk Changes the default sort order for posts from post_date to post_date_gmt. == Description == Most people don't need this plugin. Most wouldn't notice a difference if they had it. All it does is change the default sort order of a WP_Query from posts.post_date to posts.post_date_gmt -- that is, sort on the GMT timestamp of a post rather than the local time zone. Who needs this? People who switch time zones frequently. People running a network installation of WordPress where they want to be able to aggregate posts from all their network blogs easily, and in the right order. I don't know. I wrote it for FreeThoughtBlogs.com, so their "most recent posts" sidebar would stop showing only posts from a few blogs in early time zones. If it works for you, great. I have every hope that this plugin will be made obsolete by the default sort order being changed in the WordPress core. I can think of no good reason why comments are sorted by GMT but posts by local time. For all I know, this plugin works with older versions than 3.0. I've only tested it with 3.2.1. == Installation == The same as with any other WordPress plugin: 1. Upload `posts-by-gmt.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in Wordpress. 3. That's it. There are no configuration options. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Are there any frequently asked questions? = Not yet. == Screenshots == == Changelog == = 1.0 = * Initial version. == Upgrade Notice == = 1.0 = This is the first release.
