    How does this plugin work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    The plugin hooks into the pre_get_posts<\/code> action to modify the main query on the homepage, setting it to order posts by their latest update date in descending order.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Is there any configuration required?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No, the plugin works out of the box with no additional configuration needed.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What if I want to sort posts by a different criteria?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    If you need to sort posts by a different criteria, you would need to modify the plugin code accordingly.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
