Chronological order of articles

    Hello,

    I’m getting ready to submit my channel to apple for review, and there’s just one thing I’m not sure about. I published 14 articles in chronological order, and they are listed in the correct order on my iCloud – News Publisher page, but when I look at my channel the articles appear in random order. I don’t see any way to reorder them and I wanted to make sure the random order isn’t an error (or at least something Apple would see as an error).

    Thanks!

    Channel order is determined by Apple and isn’t always strictly chronological. If you are using the WordPress publish date as the date of publication and not a custom field, then the plugin should be properly reporting the date of publication to Apple when the article is published. You can enable debug mode in the plugin via the Settings screen and enter your email address, and you’ll receive a very detailed email containing all of the information that was sent to Apple, and you can use that to verify that the publication date is properly being reported when the article is published. The publication date should be part of the article’s metadata.

    If everything is being sent to Apple properly and you have further questions about article order on your channel, you should open a support ticket with Apple (these forums are managed by Alley, who develops the plugin, so questions about Apple News itself or your channel will need to be directed to them).

    Let me know if I can help further!
