== Problem ==
I want a terse "Recent Changes" list: the last edited 15 pages of any kind. I'd prefer ''not'' to have the date next to each page; rather, one date heading for each group of pages last edited on the same date. 

My reading of the manual suggests that the following code should do that: 

<pre> 
&#60;DPL>
	notcategory=foobar
	count=15
	ordermethod = lastedit,title
	order       = descending
	headingmode = H4
	addeditdate = true
	userdateformat=Y M d:
	mode=ordered
&#60;/DPL>
</pre>
No page is in [[:Category:Foobar]] so this should select all pages. I don't really require a second level of sort but '''headingmode''' is advertised as requiring one, so I specify '''title'''. Here is what I get:

No H4 headers are produced and it seems that '''order = descending''' is ignored -- indeed, reversed. Output pages are the oldest, not the newest. 

If I remove '''title''', so '''ordermethod = lastedit''' only, then '''order = descending''' is respected but a warning is reported, since '''headingmode''' demands the second level of sort. If I remove '''headingmode''', then everyhing works as expected but of course, I still don't get the desired date headers. 

My wiki [http://www.beyondeuclid.com/wiki/Special%3AVersion version] is 1.12.0. I have not created the "special view" in MySQL; no error has been raised about this. 

Other than this issue, DPL appears to work very well. 

Please feel free to create an account on my wiki and experiment.
