Scheduling options question

I finished KittyHawk 3 right after posting part 2, so I used the scheduling options on the +Fiction page to have it publish today.

It published at the correct time and date that I set it to, but it was dated and sorted according to the date I submitted it instead of its actual publishing date. Did I do something wrong, or is that how it always works? If it is how it always works, why is that?

Because of this the story was buried far down the list, so it's not being seen by people who (I hope) might want to. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated!
