  Hope this helps someone. WordPress should include this in their documentation.

  According to everything I’ve read, and even in speaking with support staff, there is no way to sort the Blog page alphabetically using the free WordPress site. The only alternative is to setup a page using Shortcodes.

  However, https://en.support.wordpress.com/show-your-posts-in-chronological-order/ provides a way to list posts chronologically in ascending order, using the same command used in Shortcodes, by placing ?order=asc in the URL.

  Going on a hunch that if one worked, why not others, I found that you CAN sort your blog page alphabetically by adding ?orderby=title&order=asc to the end of your blog URL. IE: https://YOURBLOG.wordpress.com/home/articles/?orderby=title&order=asc. This also works in descending order with desc.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  By the way, rather than add the Blog page link to your site menu, you will need to add a custom link with the URL containing the added order code to point to your blog page.
