For those of you who use the WITFITS syndication feed, I present for your consideration a new URL for the feed:
http://www.katonian.net/feeds/posts/default?orderby=published

I recommend updating your feed reader with this slightly modified URL. It addresses the issue where items in the feed are sorted by update date (i.e. the last time the author changed something in the post) as opposed to the original publish date. Since I have a tendency to modify old posts on the site to fix broken links or spelling/grammar mistakes I didn't catch the first time around, this change will prevent you from seeing those posts bubble up to the top of the feed. You can now look upon your reader in confidence knowing that the post on the top is really the one I most recently slaved over.

The key is the parameter added to the end of the url that changes the way it's sorted, "?orderby=published", as announced in the Blogger API Group. You can append this to any post feed coming from a Blogger blog, so if you are not happy with how your favorite Blogspot site's feed is ordered you can fix it.

If you maintain a blog at Blogger and you want to take advantage of this, you may want to update your site's feed auto-discovery links. Inside the Blogger template are a few lines of HTML that feed readers and such services can look to in order to determine automatically what the feed URLs are for the blog. You can follow these steps:

1. In your Blogger Dashboard, go to Layout->Edit HTML.
2. As is always a good idea when modifying your template, make a backup copy just in case something goes terribly, terribly wrong.
3. Look for the following code in your template editor:
   Old Blogger:
   
   1. <$BlogMetaData$>
   
   New Blogger:
   
   1. <b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
   
   This is the Blogger template code that is automatically filled with information about feeds when your page is published.
4. Right above it paste something similar to the following:
   
   1. <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Your Blog Name - Atom (Preferred)" href="http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=published" />
      


5. Save your changes.

Now when a feed reader or service is pointed at your site, it will auto-detect the correctly sorted feed URL as well as the old ones.
