    Hi,

    First of all, thanks for adding the feature to select multiple post types!

    I’ve come across a problem where I’m ordering the posts by modified date and also grouping by year months with descending ordering. When I add the group option, the post list is not right. It is hard to explain the result, but its like the year months are reflecting post date rather than post modified date, and yet the list date is showing modified date. It is also not displaying all the fields for the given month compared to when I turn off group ordering. If you want to try and replicate the problem, Below is template I’m using.

    [groups]
    <h3>[group_title] </h3>
    [posts]
    [post_modified_date format=”M. j, Y”] – [post_title]

    [/posts]

    [/groups]

    Hi, to let you know, the groupby month/year always uses the post publish date, and not the order you use for them. So, using modified date for ordering won’t really make the month/yeah groups based on modified time/date.

    The second issue seems interesting. I will try to reproduce that, and send you notes. However, you could send me a link to a live example where i could take a quick look over the issue.

    Ok thanks for the reply. I’ll forget about adding the grouping and just stick with ordering by modified date.

    Unfortunately my site is only local at the moment so there is no way for you to have a look. But it wouldn’t be hard for you to replicate it. I just had the options:

    – Order post by modified date
    – Group by year months

    and then the code above, except it stripped out my brs. It should have been:

    [groups]
<h3>[group_title] </h3>
[posts]
[post_modified_date format="M. j, Y"] - <a href="[post_permalink]">[post_title]</a> <br />
[/posts]
<br />
[/groups]

    It helps to have a lot posts that have recently been updated to see the problem.
