Listing ordering Orchard CMS

Question

I have made a new content type. Consequently i made a list of it, and created a new widget so to display that list.

The problem is that even by changing the order in the widget properties, the list is ordered by the oldest date descending.

I want to have the newer entries up top, but can't work around it.

Any suggestions?

@Dairo care to explain a bit more? I just create a new instance of the contant type and it automatically gets updated in both page/widget section. — Rentonie
On the menu on the left, below Content Definition is a button called Queries.By clicking on it you can create a new Query. You can add a sort criteria on the query like descending the publication date — Dairo
@Dairo Thanks for pointing that out. I missed that option, stili i can't find anything to do with sort rather than filtering. Anyway thanks again, will find it out eventually. EDIT: Blindness, thank you. — Rentonie

To put the newest of your new content type at the top:

Create a Query.
In your new Query, add a new Filter selecting for "Content -> Content types". Find your new content type in the dropdown.
Also add a new Sort Criterion that looks at "Common Part Record -> Publication date" and then choose either ascending or descending.
On the Widget page, add a new Projection Widget to the section you want. Set up your widget and choose the Query you just made.

Hope that helps!
