New Blog template help

    So I just started this blog using the matroshka free template. I love how it looks but I want the posts to be listed from oldest to newest and I’ve found that the only way to do that is by creating a page. Then I would have to make the homepage static and then use the added page. I prefer to just use it as is…. but I don’t see how. And if I add a page, I don’t see how I can apply the matroshka template to the rest of the pages. I mean I want it to look the same. The featured image spread across the section as background and with the text on top of it. Is there a way to accomplish this?

    Thanks!

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

    Thank you very kindly. I did figure this out thanks to you. It was a bit hidden how to open list view, but it’s under preferences to always open and I found it. :)
