how to sort blog by date - bravo theme

Lena

dear all,
I've tried to understand, but unfortunately I can't:
how can I sort the dates of the blog ascending/decending? The posts are appointed a date, so that could be possible... actually there are the labels "sort alphabetically" and "sort recent" but it doesnt't work.
I've put "recent" in the data&settings>variables used in current template>Label sort date asc
or, just to test in >Label sort date desc
but it doesn't make a difference. That was the only thing that I thought could work.

It would be great if you could send me easy to follow intro how I can appoint the single posts being sorted by recent first.
thank you very much!

Lena Hi Lena, the label text is actually not more than the text to be shown in the dropdown for sorting. Could you please elaborate a bit more? When you push a sort button, nothing happens? Does filtering work? It could be that there is an issue with resolving pretty URLs while ignoring the query string. What kind of environment are you using?

Hi mad,
Thanks for the super fast reply. I will try to be more precise.
in the blog section we use different templates,
so as

standart bravo blog or
extra claro blog
as templates.
When I was searching for a way to sort the posts by recent, cause they are just alphabetically sorted, but that doesn't make sense of course, I went to the shared data &files
I saw >shared data&files> Variables in installed themes>{scorring down...} Label Sort Date Desc
in that box I tried "recent" and I also tried the earliest date of a post 2017/01/01 for example
but nothing changed in the order of posts.
also, they can be seen in a drop down menu on the side and there they are also sorted by alphabet. Any chance to sort them by date?
where could be a sort button? in the check box for recent/alphabetically?
what do you mean with environment?

Thank you mad!

Lena Hi Lena, that sounds strange. The blog templates are always sorting by date. There is no option, because that’s what blogs do. You should always see the latest post on top. The other theme you mentioned I don’t know. It is difficult to help you without knowing more about your environment or an actual example site.
