  Hello,

  I would like to be able to change the home URL to append ?order=asc so that blog posts are shown in ascending order of date added.

  Mike

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

  There isn’t a way within WordPress itself to have your homepage automatically add a query string of any kind – you would need to add that manually when providing your URL to someone. (?order=asc is a query string)

  WordPress displays posts in reverse chronological order, with the newest posts at the top, for easy access. Here are some different ways to display your posts in chronological order instead:

  Hello,
  Thanks for that. I had been sent the above URL yesterday by one of your support staff and had known (been told) about appending the query string ?order=asc to the URL. However, if a user clicks the home link on my blog/site it doesn’t contain this query string so blog posts are displayed in descending order of date/time.
  I am tempted to follow the book-like structure but had hoped that there was a configuration option to specify the display order of blog posts.
  Thanks anyway,
  Mike

  Ah, gotcha. This is actually a fairly rare request, so it’s not something built in.

  Good luck with things, and just let us know if we can help with anything else.
