+I am trying to do an !inline and sort the pages after meta(date)
+
+[[!inline pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion" sort="meta(date)" show="0" rootpage="blog" archive="yes"]]
+
+There are a few pages inside blog/* and I would like to give the !meta line as example for two of them:
+
+page 1: blog/get_http.mdwn
+[[!meta title="HTTP GET method" date="2010-09-17 00:00:00"]]
+
+page 2: blog/nagios.mdwn
+[[!meta title="Nagios 3" date="2010-09-09 00:00:00"]]
+
+page 3: blog/using_macos.mdwn
+[[!meta title="How I am using Mac OS X" date="2010-06-10 00:00:00"]]
+
+The ordering which is created can be seen at [1] is
+
+page 1
+page 3
+page 2
+
+which is obviously not correct. I can say that the ordering is regardless of the sort="" argument inside !inline done by the ctime. This is really annoying as ctime is hard to recover if one has to move the blog from one machine to another.
+
+- What am I doing wrong?
+- Is this a bug? If not: Why is meta(date) ignored?
