Joomla 3.2.3 featured article ordering

Question

In Joomla 3.2.3 i can not make the article orders like in J 1.5.x , i want to make the frontpage article ordering like what i define at administrator area. I try several ways and still do not have any success, 1 weeks already ... :( The last i tried is this :

a) Content => Featured Article => (at top right) sort table by "Ordering Descending"
b) I moved the article in the order i want, then click at "Double arrow" to save it
c) Then i click at "Options" (right top), it will open the Global configuration -> Article page. 
+) Then i click at "Category"  => Choose Layout = Blog,   
+) "Blog/Featured Layout" => Multi column Order = Across. 
+) "Shared Option" => Category Order = No Order, Article Order = Ordering
Date for Ordering = published
Then clicked at "Save and Close"
d) I click at "Menu" => Main Menu => Home => layout
+) multi column order = across,
+) Category order = no order,
+) Article Order = featured article order

But at frontend, the article is not changed it is still ordered by "Date descending"

What is wrong ?

Thanks

I have J! 3.3.1 and was experiencing the same issue.

Go into the menu manager. Open each of your menu items and in the "Layout" tab make the following changes:

Category Order - No Order (this is the real key to getting your articles ordered the way you want.

Article Order - Most Recent (or which ever way you want it ordered.

Date For Ordering - I use published but you can use whatever you want.

Do this for each of your menu items and it should fix the problem.
