Joomla 3.4.3. EasyBlog 5.0.16. PHP 5.4.42
Ordering by Created date seems to work as expected. However - ordering by Published date (Settings-> Layout -> General -> Ordering) sorts by Published Date all-right BUT the date that the blogs display is the Created Date.
I tested with several themes. Also, tried with different menu types. Single author in standalone and (Posts) - Frontage.
With menu type (Posts) Frontpage I did notice the "Post Date Source" drop down (Edit menu -> Posts -> Post Date Source). Selecting Published Date did not change posts from displaying the Created date. Although - in menu type (Posts) Frontpage in the Featured Tab - selecting Published Date from the "Post Date Source" drop down DID change the date to published for posts in the featured slider only.
Thank for your help.
