    Thank you! I think this was part of the problem as another query was being run above it. It still would not work for me though so I remade all the posts and then it did, god knows what it was, some bug in the original posts which were made ages ago.
    
    I tried changing the publish dates but it did not recognise them as being changed.
    
    Thanks though this suggestion was the one I was looking for!

  Hi,
  
  Try also to set the order type ASC or DESC:
  

  
  
  <?php query_posts('orderby=title&order=ASC'); ?>

    Francisco Javier Carazo Gil says:

    In your case:
    

    
    
    <?php query_posts("cat=19&posts_per_page=5&orderby=post_date&order=ASC"); ?>
    
    

    
    
    And remember is "post_date" no "date".

  Nothing wrong with the original code, sometimes, passing parameters like thjis helps. And its more useful for future edits :)
  
  
  

  
  
  <?php 
  
  
  
  //query_posts("cat=19&posts_per_page=5&orderby=date"); 
  
  
  
  rewind_posts();
  
  
  
  $args = array(
  
  	'cat'      => 19,
  
  	'posts_per_page'=>5,
  
          'orderby'='date',
  
  	'order'    => 'ASC'
  
  );
  
  query_posts( $args );
  
  
  
  ?>

  Sébastien | French WordpressDesigner says:

  hey, by default your posts are order by date :-)
  
  so <?php query_posts("cat=19&posts_per_page=5"); ?>
  and that's all

  Hi Jennie,
  
  Try reseting your query and switching the order of query_posts around:
  
  

  
  
  wp_reset_query();
  
  query_posts( array ( 'cat' => 19, 'orderby' => 'date', 'posts_per_page' => '5' ) );
  
  

  
  
  Kind Regards!
