  Hi!

  The main page of my blog shows the newest articles first, on default. How do I change it to show the articles in opposite order – from older to new? It’s very important for me that new guests see all the oldest posts first.

  I’ve tried to search this one on my own but still no result. Thank you guys.

  That’s not possible. WordPress by default shows posts in reverse chronological order (newest at top). For returning visitors, reversing that ordere would be very convenient since they can see the latest post without having to page down through page after page of hundreds of older posts that they have already read. The only alternative structure is a book-like structure.

  Thank you for your information, timethief! I totally realize the things you mentioned there but the tweak would be just for style. Have to check out that alternative structure.
