How do I reorder blog posts on an Organization theme to show most recent first?
-
How do you get the home page (no widgets) to display the newest posts on top and let older ones roll down? I’m also having problems with getting blogs that I “un tag” as featured and tag as “recent news” to appear in the recent news widget. I’ve used WordPress in the past but a different theme and never had these problems.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Note that if you create sticky posts they will always be on top https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-visibility/#sticky-posts unless or until you edit and remove the sticky designation.
See here to go back and edit posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#go-back-and-edit-postsThe default timezone is UTC time. You can reset your timezone here > Dashboard > Settings > General.
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php
*Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.
Select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu you see there and then click “save changes”.
Edit the post, change the datestamp in the Publish module, and click Update.
All Posts are found here > Dashboard > Posts > All Posts

The Recent Posts widget you’ve titled “Recent News” is a widget that displays the latest (most recently published) five posts, no matter what tag they have. You can learn more about how it works here:

If you’d like to display only posts that have a specific tag, or are in a certain category, you could try using the Display Posts shortcode in a text widget, like the example here:

If you un-sticky your post “Make your plans to attend a NC State Meeting” as timethief suggested, your posts should appear with the newest listed first.
