  I can’t find how to do this in settings.

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

  There is no setting that you can change by clicking a link. Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool wherein the most recent published post will display on top. You cannot change this order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. There is no upgrade that allows you to change this post order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. It’s designed to serve your visitors as they come to read the most recent posts and will not be inclined to trawl through hundreds of posts to locate it.

  See here for the option of creating a book-like structure > http://en.support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/ Perhaps that will work for you.

  Or you could use a single sticky post as an index page > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

  Or you can falsify every date-stamp before publishing.

  Great! This helps. Especially the date stamp thing! Never would have thought of that!
  Thanks again
  And also, just so it doesn’t seem weird, this site is really just for me, cataloging some info.
  Thanks!

  Are you sure your timezone is set correctly?

  1. Confirm your timezone is correct
  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”.

  2. Make sure the post that’s out of order is not out of order due to sticky post assignment.

  3. Check the date and timestamp
  For editing them see:

  Use the images you see here to help you http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/schedule-a-post/ edit the datestamp and timestamp if required and then click update.
