I have a number of files in a collection. All the filenames are in the format YYYYMMDD.md  
I have specified pagination of 6 items + Load More  
Sorting is specified as Filename Descending. The first six items display correctly but load more then selects the oldest item and sorts ascending. I get the same behavior when specifying Title descending and Date Published Descending. Obviously this seriously degrades the ordering I want.  
What fields/attributes are Title, Filename, and Date Published referencing?

Can you share your project with us via Elements Cloud so we can take a look?

You need to share or email the Elements cloud link so they can look at your project.
