  How do I get the site to feature the blog posts in the order of ‘oldest post’ to ‘newest post’? I can only make it such that it is from Newest Post to Oldest Post.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  By default, posts are designed to display in reverse chronological order (from newest to oldest). However, sometimes there are reasons why you might want to reverse that and display your posts in chronological order (from oldest to newest).

  You have several options if you want to order your posts chronologically.

  Add a String to Your URLs
  Find the URL of the posts you wish to display chronologically. You can choose your whole blog feed, a specific category, or even a tag.
  Your URL should look something like this:
  http://esteeplaytime.wordpress.com/
  Choose a start date! You can pick which date you want to be the starting point for your posts.
  Let’s say we pick January 1, 2014.
  Add that date to your URL:
  http://esteeplaytime.wordpress.com/2014/01/
  That should give us all the posts from January, starting with the newest.
  Reverse the order by adding ?order=asc to the end of the URL:http://esteeplaytime.wordpress.com/2014/01/?order=asc
  Now you should see all the posts from January, starting with the oldest!
  Optional: create a custom menu with a link to the URL you created
  You can also show all your posts for the year like this:
  http://esteeplaytime.wordpress.com/2014/?order=asc
  You can show your posts for a specific Category like this (substitute “topic-ideas” for your category name):
  http://esteeplaytime.wordpress.com/category/topic-ideas/?order=asc
  Or you can even show your posts for a specific Tag like this (substitute “humor” for your tag name):
  http://esteeplaytime.wordpress.com/tag/humor/?order=asc

  I hope this helps, please feel free to reply to this thread in case you have any further question with this,

  Regards,
