Can Posts appear in Reverse Chronological Order?
-
Hi, I have an old blog and I’d like to have my oldest posts appear first when someone accesses the site. Is this possible?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We need a link to the blog you are talking about please.
And actually just for clarification, newest at top is reverse chronological order. Oldest first is chronological order.

There is no easy way to change the order of posts here at wordpress.COM. They will always show with the newest post at the top. The reason blogs order posts this way is that typically when people (returning visitors) come to your blog they are wanting to see your latest additions and having the order reversed would make it much more difficult for your returning readers to find your latest posts.
This support document explains one possibility for you and was developed for those writing a book or something similar where they want people to experience things in a certain order and it may work for you: http://support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/ .
The only other option is to go in and edit all the posts and change the date/time when you make a new post so that they are in the order you want. A tedious task if you will end up having lots of posts.
