  The simple and correct answer is no. The software automatically places your posts in the Archives when any post is published and the reverse chronological order cannot be changed.

  Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool wherein the most recent published post will display on top. You cannot change this order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. It’s designed to serve your visitors as they come to read the most recent posts and 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.

  See here for creating a Page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ and using the Archives shortcode on it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/archives-shortcode/
