Comment (by filosofo):

 Replying to [comment:2 filosofo]:
 > Why don't we instead leave the post_date alone (unset for drafts) but
 set the post_modified to reflect when a draft has been saved.  Then we can
 sort drafts by post_modified.

 Now that I look at the code, I see that this is the current behavior.  So
 why do you say that the current behavior "results in drafts not ordering
 nicely by date and causes some confusion among users"?  Whatever was saved
 most recently shows up first--isn't that what you'd expect?
