Sort Criteria not updating

Hello

Im trying to sort using Date asc, but changing the sort criteria for the page view does not change or update the query. I have it working fine as a block, but for some reason the page display is still sorting using Node Title
with sort criteria showing "none defined" i am still getting the following query:

SELECT node.nid AS nid,
   node.title AS node_title,
   node.type AS node_type,
   node_revisions.body AS node_revisions_body,
   node_revisions.format AS node_revisions_format
 FROM node node 
 LEFT JOIN node_revisions node_revisions ON node.vid = node_revisions.vid
 WHERE (node.type in ('live_streams')) AND (node.status <> 0)
   ORDER BY node_title DESC

view has been saved, changed , re-saved, the default has been changed, overriding default, using default, changing sort criteria altogether, clearing Views' cache, nothing seems to get alter the query being produced. I can change the block sort criteria, and the query updates correctly, but the page sort criteria seems to be stuck on node_title DESC

Does anyone have any ideas on how i can fix this?

thanks
Mary
