 I believe the dates should be ordered by the absolute value of time (ie,
 UTC time) instead of by timezone.

 To illustrate,
 Current post sequence

 > Two [@ UTC 1900 (my timezone is set to New York UTC-5 1300)]
 > One [@ UTC 1800 (my timezone is set to UTC 1800)]

 Since 1300 is before 1800. Ordered by my `date`

 Proposed post sequence

 > One [@ UTC 1800 (my timezone is set to UTC 1800)]
 > Two [@ UTC 1900 (my timezone is set to New York UTC-5 1300)]

 Since 1800 is before 1900. Ordered by absolute `date_gmt`.
