Using Jamroom
Hey Michael - Currently the call has a order_by="_created desc" and I removed that and added order_by="_item_id desc" and the order looks the same. So the group by clause seems to be causing the issue.
{jrCore_list module="jrBlog" group_by="_profile_id" order_by="_item_id desc" search1="profile_quota_id in 4,5,7,8,9,16,18,19,21,22,23,24,25,26" search2="blog_category not_in about,news,welcome,latest,featured,exclusive" template=$site_blog_premium_template pagebreak="4" page=$_post.p}
