I accept there are cases where it might be useful to associate significance to document order, such as 'Top 10' . But I can't think of any which couldn't be better fulfilled by being explicit within the entries/feed. The killer problem of using doc order is that the feed data *will* be aggregated and republished. Far better to declare the information in the data (like the date) and let the client (or intermediary) sort according to the user's requirements. In a case like Top 10 an extension would be appropriate, link rel=first/next/previous being one way, RSS 1.0-style feed level <items><Seq>... being another. Cheers, Danny. -- http://dannyayers.com
