  Blog Posts are going in alphabetical order and I need them to go in order by the time they are posted.

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

  Hi there. https://tetroy64.wordpress.com/ does not contain any content, and on https://nintendocult.wordpress.com/ (linked to your username) there are only four posts, all posted on the same day, but looking at the RSS feed (https://nintendocult.wordpress.com/feed/) they are appearing in reverse-chronological order based on the timestamps. Where exactly do you see posts appearing in alphabetical order?

  How can I have them appear in chronological order? With the most recent article on the top of the page?

  It is already like that. I repeat my question: Where do you see them appearing alphabetically?

  BTW, chronological order means the oldest post appears at the top. Blogs display in reverse-chronological order, or the newest post first. That’s how your blog is displaying.

  Thanks for your persistence with help but the problem was resolved. It had to deal with the timezone as it was wrong. Thank you

  Alright I got another question for you. Is there a way to make a separate page with separate blogs that are not going to be displayed on the main page? Id like to make this website not only include news on the first page but also separate pages to include a daily blog of the game I am creating.

  You can’t prevent posts from displaying on the home page, but you can have certain posts display on their own pages, in addition to displaying on the home page.

  Blog posts by default appear on your home page (main feed) in reverse chronological order. You cannot prevent posts from publishing on the main feed, but you can set up category pages that will only display posts that have a certain category assigned. You’ll need to create a custom menu in order to use category pages. See these articles for comprehensive instructions:

  To not have your main feed appear on the home page you’ll need to assign a static page as your home page, so either all of your posts are on the home page, or none of them are. Instructions to do that here:

  You cannot assign a category page as your home page.
