News items are being listed all out-of-order on
http://www.sparkfun.com/news.
What's expected: News items to be listed chronologically, from most recent at the top to longest ago at the bottom.
What's happening: News items are ordered by some other means, it seems to be the number in the URL, from largest number at the top to smallest number at the bottom.
Right now, the dates read:

Again, it appears to me that the posts are ordered by the number in the URL, which does
not necessarily correlate to the date. If I had to take a guess, news items are not necessarily published immediately, but they do get assigned one of these numbers immediately, and as a result a lower number only means that the post started being written longer ago, but wasn't necessarily published longer ago. I don't know if that's how your system works or not, but I've seen other systems that work similarly to this.
This bug makes finding certain news posts very difficult. Thankfully, there's a search feature!
In general though, great work as always! Been watching your site like a hawk, I have to spend my free-day money soon (plus some from my bank account, my wish list has gotten lengthy). Not to be off-topic, but any chance you guys might carry solenoids soon? If so, I'll almost definitely add them to my next order.
EDIT: Sorry about the off-topic part at the end there, I really wanted to put something more positive than just "you guys should fix this."
