  Is there a way to format a blog so the entries run oldest first to newest last?

  How do you set so when someone else (not you) get on to my wordpress site, by default, the way the blog posts are shown is in natural chronological order… oldest to newest. Either the info in that link went way over my head or it’s not in there.

  I would recommend creating a front page for your site, with the first post on it using a Blog Posts block.

  1 – Make a page

  2 – Insert the Blog Posts Block

  3 – On the settings, choose to display one specific post. Choose your first post.

  Then, add a link to your blog posts page, and add the ?order=asc to that link.

  And I wanted to note we’ve filed a feature request for this, too:
