Filtering queue question/suggestion

Please correct me if I've mis-observed this, or if it has already been addressed.

When I use Instructables, I always use the "Recent" option to browse recent Instructables. Often, when I look again after several hours or days, new Instructables have popped up, interspersed with ones I had viewed previously. So, when a new Instructable gets hung up in the filters, am I right in observing that it then gets inserted (when it is released) "back" to the time when it was originally published? It seems that it would be better to post it (chronologically) when it was released from the filters, rather than, in some cases, a page or two back.

Yes, I've observed this as well, and had it confirmed by Staff. The filtering process does not change the "Published on" date.

Yes, I've observed this with coffee as well, and had it confirmed by Starbucks. The filtering process does not change the "Published on" date. Use coffee by the expiry date, especially if freshly ground.

For contest purposes the instructable must retain the original date/timestamp. Probably have to juryrig it to display in "released to the wild" order.

I hadn't thought about the contest angle.

Exactly, the contests are the biggie.
