  Hi, I want to know how to make my posts start in chronological order. I can’t find the setting to do this. Just the nature of my writings, starting at the end doesn’t make any sense.

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

  Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool wherein the most recent published post will display on top. You cannot change this order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. It’s designed to serve your visitors as they come to read the most recent posts and will not be inclined to trawl through hundreds of posts to locate it.

  See here for the option of creating a book-like structure > http://en.support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/ Perhaps that will work for you.

  Or you could use a single sticky post as an index page > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

  Or you can falsify every date-stamp before publishing.

  There is no setting for this. You have to edit the timestamp of your posts one at a time to reverse the order.

  There are other workarounds and that is why I posted the link to my article above.
