You can just configure the Asset Publisher to sort entries by publishDate. So you won't need extra code inside your template to sort the entries.

The $entries object only contains the assets which are visible. So if you reduce the number of assets it will only sort those.

I don't know if there is actually a bug about sorting by date in Asset Publisher. Liferay 6.2 GA1 is rather old. Maybe you should consider to update to at least the latest 6.2 GA7.
