+> 1. Create pages in the srcdir that should sort in one order by
+>    last-modification time and in a diffent order by original creation
+>    time.  For example:
+> 
+>         $ echo -e '\[[!meta date="2007-01-01"]]\nNew.' > test/new.mdwn
+>         $ echo -e '\[[!meta date="2006-01-01"]]\nOld.' > test/old.mdwn
+> 
+> 2. Create a page that includes the files.  For example:
+> 
+>
+>         $ echo '\[[!inline pages="test/*"]]' > sort-test.mdwn
+> 
+> 3. Run ikiwiki.  For example `ikiwiki --setup setup_file`
+> 
+> 4. Pages are output incorrectly in modification time order. For example,
+>    actual partial HTML of the sort-test/index.html from commands used
+>    above (whitespace-only lines removed; one whitespace-only line
+>    added):
+> 
+>         <div class="inlinepage">
