Yes! Could you also reconstruct that problem?
And nope, at me on GitHub all screenshots were loaded. See:

Sorry I misread your original post. I assumed the time and date in the sorting example was a screenshot name

In the Blog layout tab ... what setting is 'Category Order' ? If Global what is the Global setting for it ?

@Webdongle
Category Order is set to "Global" and Gloabl Order ist set to "Category Order"
To reproduce it, see attached screenshots above.
If you look at your results you should see that they are in order per category ?
Expected result Articles of first Category in date order then second Articles of the second Category in date order etc.
(i.e. it sorts by Category then by date order)
If you set the Category Order to 'No Order' then the Articles should be in date order regardless of Category.
@Webdongle nope, did not work. But it did work by oldes first when it is setting up by oldes article first!
This is confused to me.
As i see, it is a problem with sort function usort() and mutlidimensional array with certain numbers.
The more crazy confusion is, when i change Order to > Oldes First
and than do a hardcode change of sort function by
foreach to array_reverse()) than it works?
Please exactly reproduce my screenshots,
means exactly same category structure and same dates of articles, than you could see that problem.
It looks to me very strongly as a php usort() mutlidimensional array sort problem!
Hello! Sorry for my english. I think i solve that problem today. I just fill fields in blog category settings, like that:
Leading Articles - 0
Intro Articles - 20
Columns - 1
And it works! Articles sorting well
Is this still a problem? It is unclear from the conversation above if this is resolved?

I had this problem and finally after a few hours I realized that I have COPIED one article several times and those hsve the same CREATED dates. So it work only with newly created articles!

So it is working correctly. If the created date is the same then they can't
be sorted by the date
Yes, this was the problem at me and I think at several other guys as well.
Maybe the solution for this human mistake could be the copied article gets the current date. BUT in this case the publishing D/T could cause problem. So it is better to leave this as it is now.
@brianteeman Think this is a really special Problem, but it exists and should be solved.
@GESign the problem has nothing to do with copying articles. It exists after creation.
By Sorting "Most Recent first" sorting ist confused mixed
By Sorting "Oldes first" sorting is correct.
I´ve tested the fix below that helps for me. Sure, we can not implement this to Joomla.
So implement array_reverse() if order is "Most Recent first"
(ToDo: change foreach to array_reverse()) if order is "Most Recent first")
But it shows it must be a problem with sort function.
we testet this issue with florian in our JUG and there is no bug. the sorting works fine.
Tested on Database Version 5.5.5-10.1.13-MariaDB, php 7.0.6, Apache/2.4.18

It looks like something went wrong and most of your screenshots are missing.
