This is because changing the sortkey of an article in a category changes the date the categorylink was last modified. Wikinews (DPL) uses this date to figure out when an article was published.

Due to protection, it is generally only carried out by administrators. Below is a non-exhaustive list of tasks requiring work; </p> <ol><li>Some years ago <i>Wikinews</i> fell behind with archiving. A robot was used to automatically archive all articles that required it. These bear {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Archive-unreviewed" title="Template:Archive-unreviewed">Archive-unreviewed</a>}} and are in <a href="/wiki/Category:AutoArchived" title="Category:AutoArchived">Category:AutoArchived</a>. These predate the current <a href="/wiki/Wikinews:REVIEW" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikinews:REVIEW">review process</a>. They can be checked and, if in suitable shape, {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Archive-unreviewed" title="Template:Archive-unreviewed">Archive-unreviewed</a>}} should be replaced with {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Archive" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:Archive">Archive</a>}}</li> <li>Creating new topic categories is a constant task. Once a topic, such as a city or politician, has three to five relevant articles, a category should be created and added to relevant articles. To maintain compatibility with {{<a href="/wiki/Template:W" title="Template:W">w</a>}}, redirects must be set up.</li> <li>As mentioned above, articles in <a href="/wiki/Category:Pages_with_broken_file_links" title="Category:Pages with broken file links">Category:Pages with broken file links</a> require processed with {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Missing_image" title="Template:Missing image">missing image</a>}}.</li> <li><i>Wikinews</i> has begun using {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Image_credit" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:Image credit">image credit</a>}} to credit photographers and other media creators; this should be appended to old image captions where not already included in the caption.</li> <li>Before the {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Sisters" title="Template:Sisters">sisters</a>}} template, sister links were sometimes placed in what is now viewed as inappropriate locations, simultaneously implying they were used as <a href="/wiki/Wikinews:CS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikinews:CS">sources for information in the articles</a> whilst also degrading their importance as sister projects. Older articles using the outdated methods still exist in the archives. They should be converted to comply with the <a href="/wiki/Wikinews:SG#Sister_links_section" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikinews:SG">current style guide on sister links</a>.</li></ol> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Pre-protection_process" data-mw-thread-id="h-Pre-protection_process"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Pre-protection_process"></span>Pre-protection process<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Pre-protection_process"></span></h2></div> <p>Administrators carrying out archiving should give all articles being archived a general check for problems. Per notes above, substantial changes cannot be made. <b>Remove outdated tags</b> such as {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Expand" title="Template:Expand">expand</a>}} and {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Breaking" title="Template:Breaking">breaking</a>}}. Once protected an article cannot be expanded and thus this is confusing. </p><p>The {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Archived" title="Template:Archived">Archived</a>}} tag should be added at the end of the article, preferably by putting {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Publish" title="Template:Publish">Publish</a>}}, {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Archived" title="Template:Archived">Archived</a>}} on individual lines, followed by the categories. Interwiki links to non-English Wikinews sites go last. </p><p>Articles should be given a final check for format, <a href="/wiki/Wikinews:Style_guide" title="Wikinews:Style guide">small style errors</a>, proper categorisation, spelling, and similar minor points. Since all changes are reviewed, there should be no major problems outstanding at this time. Wikipedia's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:AWB" class="extiw" title="w:WP:AWB">AutoWikiBrowser</a> supports Wikinews and is a useful tool for catching typos and common errors. <i>It is, however, no substitute for the current version of the human eyeball.</i> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="To_archive" data-mw-thread-id="h-To_archive"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-To_archive"></span>To archive<span data-mw-comment-end="h-To_archive"></span></h2></div> <div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: right;"> <b><a href="/wiki/Wikinews:WN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikinews:WN">Shortcut:</a></b><br/>WN:TOARCHIVE</div><p><b>If</b> there are no articles listed below the horizontal line (that is, if there are no more than twenty five unarchived articles), see the usual exception at times of slow output, <b><a href="#Age_for_Protection">above</a></b>.
