Greets,

It would seem having my latest story appear either at the top of my portfolio page, or, if you choose, the bottom, should be automatic...No?

Yes indeed! The default sorting is to show the newest item first.

If yours is NOT showing the newest item first... it means you've previously used the ordering system to override the default setting and you've added some sorting or ordering to your portfolio items. Once you've done that, the system will NOT override your manually positioned items; those manually sorted items will always come before new items because you've told the portfolio system which items to show first.

You can "undo" that by using the ordering system to set the position to "0" for all of your items that have non-zero entries. In your portfolio, look for the "Portfolio" with the gear icon:

         

Click that (gear) icon to open the tools:

         

Click that Reorder link to open the positioning system. Anything higher than "0" will show first. The system sorts by the highest number first, then items with the same positioning number are sorted newest first.


Hope this helps,
~~SM
