RadiantCMS r:aggregate problem

# Site structure:

/ - homepage (normal)
  /2008 - 2008 articles (normal)
    /2008/article1 [was draft, now published]
  /2009 - 2009 articles (normal)
    /2009/article1 [was draft, now published]
    /2009/article2
    /2009/article3
    …
  /2010 - 2010 articles (normal)
    /2010/article1

# Template for homepage:

<r:aggregate urls="/2008; /2009; /2010">
<r:children:each limit="9999" order="desc">
<li><r:date format="%B %d, %Y" /> <r:link /></li>
</r:children:each>
</r:aggregate>

# Expected Result:

* /2010/article1
* /2009/article3
* /2009/article2
* /2009/article1
* /2008/article1

# Current Result:

* /2009/article3
* /2009/article2
* /2008/article1
* /2010/article1
* /2009/article1

(the bottom two which are not obeying sort order were drafts)

=> problem was by="publication_date" isn’t default for <r:aggregate> so it was sorting by id (order pages were added in). Changing to <r:children:each limit="9999" order="desc" by="publication_date"> worked. Thanks Sean!
