Hi,
Although on many themes projects appear in reverse-chronological order, that’s not the case for every theme. Orvis, like Blask and Illustratr, evidently uses the Masonry javascript grid-layout library, which determines the project display order when the featured images are of different sizes and shapes.
In the topic Re-ordering portfolio projects, staff member @dcoleonline explains why on Blask portfolio project order depends upon both the publish date and the featured image size of projects. In that topic, @dcoleonline says:
Blask uses a Javascript library called Masonry which automatically fits the portfolio images together to maintain the grid. On my test, I added portfolios without images, so they were all the same size on the front page. This made them appear in reverse chronological order because their size/shape meant that the grid didn’t have to reposition them to fit nicely.
However with images of mixed sizes/shapes, the grid’s logic takes over to decide where to put each image. So in this case, it isn’t possible to force the order by using the date if the featured images for portfolios vary in their size/shape.

Also, if you’re using a version of Orvis made for self-hosted sites such as yours, then the Orvis section of the WordPress.org support forum would be a more appropriate place to submit support requests.
