Hello.
I’m using the Blog list widget to display my posts. I have the Masonry list appearance applied. For the query I have:
Posts per page: 9
Order by: Date
Order: Descending
Additional Params: No

When I see the page, the posts are not ordered correctly by date. Can you please help me figure out why?

Thank you

Hi, It looks like you’re experiencing an issue with the Masonry layout not displaying posts in strict descending date order on your blog page. This is a common behavior with Masonry layouts because they prioritize filling gaps in the grid over strict chronological ordering.
Here are some steps to troubleshoot and fix this:

Check the actual post dates: First confirm that your posts do indeed have different dates and are properly dated in descending order in your WordPress backend.

Masonry layout behavior: The Masonry layout will often rearrange items to fill vertical gaps, which can make the order appear random even if the underlying query is correct.

Potential solution:
Switch to a different layout (like Grid or List) to see if the ordering works correctly there.
Please keep me updated.
