Original description

<b>What steps will reproduce the problem?</b>
1. Turn on 'News posts' and set it to 'Node Based' maximum of 6 posts
<b>2.</b>
<b>3.</b>

<b>What is the expected output? What do you see instead?</b>

I expected that the front page would, as the default name of the feature indicates (latest headlines,) display the latest posts.
Instead, the front page displays the OLDEST posts, but when you press 'older entries' the order is fine and then you eventually end up with the same posts that are at the front page.

<b>What versions of WordPress and Arras Theme are you using?</b>
WP v. 3.3.1
ARRAS THEME v. 1.5.1.2


<b>Please provide any additional information below.</b>

(I want the front page to show the newest, not the oldest posts.)
