Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records Posts by GMT version 1.0 as active, updated 15y ago and tested up to WordPress 3.2.

Overview

About this plugin

Most people don’t need this plugin. Most wouldn’t notice a difference if they had it. post_date_gmt — that is, sort on the GMT timestamp of a post rather than the local time zone.

Who needs this? People who switch time zones frequently. People running a network installation of WordPress where they want to be able to aggregate posts from all their network blogs easily, and in the right order.

I don’t know. com, so their “most recent posts” sidebar would stop showing only posts from a few blogs in early time zones. If it works for you, great.

I have every hope that this plugin will be made obsolete by the default sort order being changed in the WordPress core. I can think of no good reason why comments are sorted by GMT but posts by local time.

“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
