The current (newest) issue is the issue which is published and has the
greatest number.

The sections are ordered be the section number order in the section lists.

The articles are ordered by default by the article order in the section when
the section was defined. If the section was not defined the articles are
ordered by:
- publication id (asc)
- issue number (desc)
- section number (asc)
- section order (asc)

So if you created a new article and published it there are two ways of
having it as the first item in an article list:
- put the article in the first position in the section and list articles
from the article section (no custom order)
- if the article was not on the first position in the section specify the
order in the articles list:
a. order="byNumber desc"
b. order="byCreationDate desc"

In your case I think you have a corrupted database; I tested creating new
articles and immediately after creation the field "saved" in the top right
corner shows up the proper creation date.
