  Hello @77mlewis,
  By default your posts are displayed in the reverse chronological order(new to old) so that your visitors can always find the latest posts.

  If you want, you can reverse this order(old to new) by following this official support guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/show-your-posts-in-chronological-order/

  I you want to present some post always on the top you can use sticky posts:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

  If you want to have greater control in changing the order, you can do that by editing/changing the actual publish date of the posts.

  To do this,
  1. Go to your Blog Posts page: https://wordpress.com/posts/
  2. Click on Edit on the post that you want to change the date of.
  3. On the top right corner, just beside the UPDATE button, you will find a calendar icon, click on that.
  4. Select a date.
  5. If you have chosen a future date, it will SCHEDULE and if you have chosen a past date it will UPDATE it right away.

  Hope this helps 🙂
