    In the current version of CWIS (1.4.2) by
    default the new resources on the front page
    are ordered by the "Date of Record Release"
    field.  If the records you're importing
    do not include that field or have it set to
    some time farther into the past, the records
    will not show up at the top of the New
    Resources list.

    The easiest way around this right now is to
    include a Date of Record Release field in your
    imported data, set to roughly the time and
    date of import.
