  Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool wherein the most recent published post will display on top. There is no upgrade that allows you to change this post order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog.

  Reverse chronological order is designed to serve your visitors as they come to read the most recent posts and they will not be inclined to trawl through hundreds of posts to locate it.

  See here for the option of creating a book-like structure > http://en.support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/ Perhaps that will work for you.

  Or you could use a single sticky post as an index page > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

  Or you can falsify every date-stamp before publishing.
