Manually organize posts
-
How can I organize posts to how I want them organized and not by date-time?
Honestly wordpress didn’t think of that?

Weblogs are chronological journals. Consequently, timeliness is of the essence in them and all blogs operate in the same manner. There’s only one page (aside from the archives and categories & tags pages) that display published posts. It displays them in reverse chronological order with the most recent on top.
If you prefer you can create a book-like order. See here > -
i’m sorry that answer is ridiculous in two ways.
For one who ever said that the timeline should be dictated by the tool and not the human that’s using it? Even if we would agree on the chronological portion of the definition of what a “weblog” is… wordpress would have no way of knowing when the events published have actually occurred.
Secondly why is wordpress pushing this limitation on me anyway? Not only an ordering feature is painfully easy to implement, but it has been implemented numerous times, and yet suppressed with every new version that came out. It’s my blog and I want it organized in the manner that seems fit to me.
I do not see the intelligence behind the lack of this feature. In fact I see stubborn ignorance only. And repeat my question.

Might as well answer my own then. You can modify the publishing date of you posts in the edit page and it does re-order them. Still a somewhat barbaric method, but it’s the only thing that seems to work.

The posts are ordered by publication time and date, if the time appears wrong you can change your local time zone from the dashboard. If you want a main page where the posts are not in chronological order you can create a static page and copy the links in however you see fit.
If you want to make a feature request then get in touch with staff directly rather than using the forums and try to be polite. I’m sorry that you’ve found this limitation frustrating but you are using wordpress for free so calling features “ridiculous” is no way to go about getting help.

It is rude to tell someone to fit their ideas into somebody’s box. I asked how I can do a certain thing and was told to do things how someone else saw fit along with a very arguable definition of a word I didn’t ask for. If you don’t know then why are you telling me I can’t do it? Especially considering that I actually can.
Also you don’t know what my ideas are because I have not told you and making judgements about them in ignorance is a thing much more rude than calling an open and expressed idea ridiculous – as it is simple sense, while the other is prejudice.

I already answered my own question. I will no longer have my time wasted by people who neither know what they are talking about nor can actually read. This topic is closed.
