Entity reference no sorting by field I have a problem that I have not been able to find the solution. I have an entity reference field for a node to display specific news I need them to be sort them by the date they were created by the latest. In the field settings there is an option to  sort by created but it is not applying the sorting. Is there another way that I can sort them maybe using rules, or programatically. Any idea what I am doing wrong? I cannot use views for this particular problem because each node display different news, do it manually is not an option either because I am creating the content using web services. 

NEWS ORDERED BY THE LATEST

You can always use the  Views: Filter by an entity reference view  option from Entity selection mode and then create a view as per your sorting options and filters and select the view in the select box which shows up.
