Can't we display posts in chronological order?
-
Can’t we add a tool that allows viewers to sort posts in chronological order, should they choose to do so? Or a tool that allows us, the bloggers, to set the blog post order to chron or reverse chron for the particular categories we create? I would just like to make it easy for new viewers to begin at the beginning and continue through to the end (the most recent post).
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Unfortunately it is not possible for you (or your readersr) to change the order of posts on your site, though I think those are great suggestions, and will pass them along to our team for consideration.
In the future, for ideas like these, it’d be great if you could add your thoughts here:
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/ideasWe are always on the lookout for good ideas to implement on WordPress.com so this is a forum that is watched.
I would just like to make it easy for new viewers to begin at the beginning and continue through to the end (the most recent post).
While not exactly the same, you can take advantage of the Archives Shortcode to create a custom page that shows your posts in reverse order.
You can read more about this shortcode here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/archives-shortcode/
All you need to do is create a blank page, and enter the shortcode, and what viewers to your site see is outputted automatically by the shortcode.
Here is an example code you can use:
[archives order=asc]Your Archives widget will not link to this page, so it may be a good idea to use a text widget (with an HTML link) or the custom menu widget to add a link to this custom page
Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
