My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

My version: 2.3.0-rc1 released on 12/28/07

I'm having some strange problems with sorting the posts on our blog now. These are my settings under "content / posts":

Order by: date issued (default)
Direction: Descending
Display unit: posts
Posts / Days per page: 3
Archive grouping: Monthly

So, the main page is shown as it should; the three most recent posts in a descending order. The problems occur when one tries to go to the next page in the bottom of the site:


http://pi.chj.no/?blog=1&order=desc&orderby=views&posts=5&show_past=1&show_future=1&paged=2

Then it shows 5 posts, and in an order unknown to anyone, the five posts, as they are displayed, are:

So, obviously, it's neither sorted by date, by title, by comments...

And this continues on the next page, and so on: only the front page is displayed as it should.

Now, this hasn't been a problem *earlier*, the only thing I've done (honestly!) is to install a lame plugin called flowplayer_plugin (which didn't work as I hoped it would). Somehow, then, this might be the reason.

The only file I've found that looks interesting is

inc/collections/model/_collsettings.class.php

which contains:

'orderby' => 'datestart',
'orderdir' => 'DESC',
'what_to_show' => 'posts', // posts, days
'posts_per_page' => '5',
'feed_content' => 'normal',

I do not know if this is relevant, but changes in the blog are not reflected to the file, also changes to the file is not reflected in the blog.

Any ideas?

Right: the problem was a plugin/widget called "ministats", which I did install a long time ago.

The thing is, yesterday I changed its setting to display which posts had the most views... and of course, the faulty link contained:

#orderby=views#

So, I disabled the "most viewed posts" feature again, and everything works now as it should.

Bad widget.
