Hi, first I just want to say I love this site. I have inputed all my sightings and really appreciate all the work gone into this site.
I have a small problem when I try and create a stack for my blog. Whenever I go to my life list and then create a stack it generates code for the list to be in the oldest order NOT newest like my list shows. I must be missing something simple. Thanks for your help.

Stacks are always sorted by the time at which sightings were entered into the Birdstack database. They are designed this way to ensure that they always show recent activity, no matter how the list is sorted. For example, my 2008 year list is sorted taxonomically, but the recent observations always appear in my stack on my blog.
When you first start using Birdstack and import your observations, your stacks may look a little funny. They might show older observations that you just recently put into the database. But as you continue using Birdstack and putting in new observations, they will start showing up in your stacks.
Excellent, that makes sense and explains why mine were all off as I just completed a large import in the reverse order. Well I am heading out doing some birding today so those new ones will now show up. Thanks for all your help and just an excellent site.

Hi Michael,
Welcome to Birdstack!

Hope this helps.
