Where can I configure the ordering of the items? I cannot find it in the category itself...?

Found it! It's in the menu options.

Hmm, it's still not working. I have a category which is sorted by publication date. Now the previous and next links are not working correctly, it looks like it's not using the publication date, but maybe the ID or something? I cannot find the sorting it's using now. It looks like it's all scrambled.

EDIT: Ok, I think I found something. Which is, if I get the articles to order by publish date I think it can work. I think the ordering of the articles for the next and previous links are not the same as how I configured the rest, namely by date.

EDIT 2: I found it. It uses the ordering of the items in the k2 items manager. Always. So there has to be a core hack for to fix it, and sort it by date.

Ok I tried to change the item.php model to change the getPreviousItem method. But if I use the publish_up instead of ordering to sort, it's not working as intended.

Can you send me the code you used?

if ($ordering == "0")
		{
			$query = "SELECT * FROM #__k2_items WHERE id < {$id} AND catid={$catid} AND published=1 AND ( publish_up = ".$db->Quote($nullDate)." OR publish_up <= ".$db->Quote($now)." ) AND ( publish_down = ".$db->Quote($nullDate)." OR publish_down >= ".$db->Quote($now)." ) {$accessCondition} AND trash=0 {$languageCondition} ORDER BY id DESC";
		}
		else
		{
			$query = "SELECT * FROM #__k2_items WHERE id != {$id} AND catid={$catid} AND ordering < {$ordering} AND published=1 AND ( publish_up = ".$db->Quote($nullDate)." OR publish_up <= ".$db->Quote($now)." ) AND ( publish_down = ".$db->Quote($nullDate)." OR publish_down >= ".$db->Quote($now)." ) {$accessCondition} AND trash=0 {$languageCondition} ORDER BY id DESC";
		}
