Edit the preferences for sort order, and the iBloglines site should respect it. It currently doesn't expose the preference within the iBloglines UI, but it respects settings form the main site.

I've been a Bloglines user for years but switched to Google Reader after trying to use Bloglines on my iPhone - I've tried out iBloglines and it has a lot of potential but I'm seeing a number of problems: The big one - it crashes MobileSafari on Edge _all the time_ - like on every use - I've heard this from another user as well. Lots of little nits that make it harder to use: --sorting date ascending makes things harder to read, especially given Bloglines' updating policy, which means you end up with many duplicate posts - so it's a lot of scrolling through to find the one new post. --refreshing the feed page takes you back to the main page. ... and some others I've forgotten now. So I'm wondering if you're still working on it or if I can encourage you to do so? My email is my name at gmail, btw, if you have any other questions. Hi Paul -

Lots of little nits that make it harder to use:

–sorting date ascending makes things harder to read, especially given Bloglines’ updating policy, which means you end up with many duplicate posts - so it’s a lot of scrolling through to find the one new post.
–refreshing the feed page takes you back to the main page.

… and some others I’ve forgotten now. So I’m wondering if you’re still working on it or if I can encourage you to do so?

My email is my name at gmail, btw, if you have any other questions.

MobileSafari has pretty good JS, and that is what lets us do many of the tricks that make iBloglines nice. The biggest problem with the Treo, is the lack of JavaScript and CSS support.

Is there any chance that i.bloglines.com would be better than http://www.bloglines.com/mobile on something like the 320×320 Treo 700p?
