Joomla does not handle pending articles in the frontend (linking a pending article results in a 404 error). Therefore, even though you can show those articles in the view, you cannot link to them. This has been reported as a bug to Joomla, but has been closed and no fix is on the way.
There is a well-known order bug in Joomla when articles are copies of each other and the creation or publishing dates are identical. Modifying the dates fixes it.
