 the function get_posts() in posts.php is defaulted to orderby post_date.
 The problem with this is if entries are added in differing timezones
 (e.g., I changed my system timezone after x number of posts have been
 made), then the sorting is incorrect.  Since post_date_gmt is correct
 despite the timezone you are in, sorting based on this should be the
 default behavior.
