I love SharpReader.  I have tried dozens of other readers and aggregators and always come back to it.  I just hate the way it treats ATOM feeds.  Or more specifically, MINE.

See, when I posted a entry, it gets a date.  If I ever go back and update it, it gets another date.  This is built into the spec.  One tag is labeled "published" and the other "updated".  Pretty obvious what each is for, yes?  When I tagged my own entries, I just ignored the <updated> tag.  But I have moved to DasBlog to ease my administration and now it (properly) updates said tag.  But SharpReader uses <updated>, not <published>, for its display and sorting algorithms.  So all of my entries show up out of order if I, say, go back and apply categories to stories.

Frustrating...
