List post by update date

Answer 1

You would need a custom query and pass orderby the value of modified. THis will order them by their modified date and not published date.

$args = [
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'orderby'   => 'modified'
];
    
$modPosts = new WP_Query( $args );

if ( $modPosts->have_posts() ) : while ( $modPosts->have_posts() ) : $modPosts->the_post();

// Show posts here

endwhile; endif;

// Reset the query
wp_reset_query();
