Posts are added to the index in an inconsistent order #62

Closed cuibonobo closed 2 years ago

When the index is built from scratch, new posts are added to the top of latest.json. If a post is added to an existing index, it's added to the bottom.

It might help to save deterministic JSON so that the files don't reflect insertion order.

It might be good to write a script to make all existing JSON data in the project deterministic.

I'm now realizing that the display of items on the site is determined by these non-deterministic JSON objects. Instead of being a dictionary, the latest index should be a list that shows posts in reverse chronological order. Anything that is using the latest index to get the content of a post based on its ID should instead read directly from the posts directory. This means you no longer need the type to retrieve a post object.
