Dear Stsorrell,
First we recommend you to check all the options available inside the customizer. If the available options are not useful or helpful you can customize the theme and it is GPL so that you can make your site as your need.
Here in this case, if image appeared blur or wrong WAY please try by uploading the high quality image size and check again. In case of ordering page, you can just change the page published date. The latest date items will be the first items and so on.
We are trying to provide maximum features on free theme although we are not fully success. We always looking for users feedback and suggestions for it. We really appreciate your time and comments here so that we can make the product quality better in coming updates. If you have any further suggestions, please let us know, we will try to implement on coming days.
Regards
