  You can edit the post and change the datestamp and timestamp and click update. I know you are not scheduling a post but these images may be helpful:

  For editing see:

  To confirm your timezone is correct know the default timezone is UTC time. You can reset your timezone here > Settings > General. Select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu you see there and then click “save changes”.

  Thanks that worked! it was just because my post saved to a draft version by accident and then they were in the wrong order.
