Subject: Order feeds by publish date rather than date

Every listing in the theme is built from .PublishDate, but the feeds
timestamped entries with .Date and left them in Hugo's default order.
An entry that set both front matter keys was therefore advertised to
readers with a different date, and potentially in a different order,
than it appeared in on the site.
