.rss latest and hot appear the same?

We are using both the ‘hot’ and ‘latest’ rss feeds on our forum for some simple distribution of topics to wordpress.

Here are the feeds:

https://forum.mamapedia.com/hot.rss
https://forum.mamapedia.com/latest.rss

Now, when we use the RSS reader on wordpress to display these two feeds, the results look identical. That seems odd…

The hot and latest pages on discourse do not look identical, the ordering of the topics is different which is what we would expect.

I realize this is technically asking about how something looks on ‘wordpress’ - but it seemed so simple that it was worth asking.

By the way you can see both feeds displayed here:

Maybe we are missing something obvious here?
