Title
Body
For search engines and website crawlers, does the url order matter in a XML sitemap? Currently when the sitemap is generated, I order the website urls sequentially using a unique id, in the database. Should I order the urls in date order? Sequential Sitemap <urlset> <url> <loc>http://example.com/</loc> <lastmod>2009-08-14</lastmod> </url> <url> <loc>http://example.com/article/1/about_us</loc> <lastmod>2009-07-14</lastmod> </url> <url> <loc>http://example.com/article/2/contacts</loc> <lastmod>2009-08-09</lastmod> </url> </urlset> Date Ordered Sitemap <urlset> <url> <loc>http://example.com/</loc> <lastmod>2009-08-14</lastmod> </url> <url> <loc>http://example.com/article/2/contacts</loc> <lastmod>2009-08-09</lastmod> </url> <url> <loc>http://example.com/article/1/about_us</loc> <lastmod>2009-07-14</lastmod> </url> </urlset>
