Adds the much requested option to change the sort order of the posts. Check it out at the plugin directory.

I know this is a long time coming but I’ve been super busy with school. I don’t like to mess with something that works. I know of a few other plugins that do the same thing and more but I don’t like to add a hundred different features that only a handful of people need. I think one of the features of CPW is its minimal feature set. It functions as advertised; no more no less. That, in my opinion, is how good software should work.

Based on the ratings and comments it seems most people enjoy the plugin. Sadly, I don’t have time to answer everyone’s questions. I’d suggest posting on the WordPress.org forums. Thanks for all the support.

Update: The random sort bug should be fixed now. Sorry for the delay.

LaTeX Tip: Operator Names

I’ve always written:

P(X>Y)
E[X=3]

Which gives you something like this:

P(X>Y)\\E[X=3]

The problem here is that the probability and expected value operators are italicized as if they were variables. I should have been writing:

\operatorname{P}(X>Y)
\operatorname{E}[X=3]

Which will render them in the plain old Roman font like \lim or \min.

Wikibooks has a nice snippet on it with some more details.
