Does anyone know of a way to sort RSS exports? They seem to be pretty worthless without a way to sort them, especially if you are doing advanced publishing (which I am). If anyone has come up with a way to sort them by an attribute then that would be great. Thanks!

What do you mean by advanced publishing? What kind of attribute do you want to sort on other than the published date?
The purpose of RSS exports is generally for "latest items" of some category.
I would understand a need to "filter by attribute", but not sorting by some attribute.

Thanks for your reply.
By advanced publishing I mean that I input data ahead of time, and then it is displayed when my "date" and the currentdate match. So the RSS feed displays by published date (which for me is when I entered it into the system, which I do not want) and I want it to sort by my "date" attribute in the class.

Hi
This is not possible in 3.3. We are working on a simple XSLT engine for 3.4. The XSLT will among other things be used to customize the RSS feeds. Dublin Core and other modules will then be much easier to implement.
