  I was wondering if there was a way I could rearrange my posts to put them in a certain order. Not the order that I post them but to rearrange them

  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. There is no upgrade that allows you to change this post order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog.

  Reverse chronological order is designed to serve your visitors as they come to read the most recent posts and they 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.

  You my also want to use categories and create a custom menu.

  Please read this carefully http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/posts-on-pages/ There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/

  By default the front page of the blog is the post that displays all posts in your blog in reverse chronological order with the most recent post on top. Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.

  Among the most common misconceptions is that bloggers fail to understand is
  (1) there is only one page we can post to in any blog and
  (2) the static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ they create do not automatically update.

  Please read this support doc as Pages and posts http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ are not the same.

  Please also read this support doc as Pages (static) https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ and category pages (dynamic) https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/ are not the same.

  Only the dynamic pages like Categories, Tags and Archives created by the software when we publish a post we that we have assigned Categories and Tags to will update automatically update. https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

  We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories pages into the custom menu.
