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

  Hello there,
  The default timezone is UTC time. You can reset your timezone here > Settings > General Select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu you see there and then click “save changes”.

  NOTE: Please also make sure you have not unintentionally made any post a “sticky post”. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

  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 are more workarounds here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2014/03/08/blog-posts-in-chronological-order/

  What I posted above applies to Post order and not to Page order.
  Please read this entry so you are clear on the differences

  re: changing the order of Pages, not Posts

  There are two approaches.
  1. If you have only pages in your horizontal menu and that’ is all you want in it see here to use numerical order. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/#order

  2. Creating a Custom Menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#creating-a-custom-menu
  Adding Pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-pages
  Changing the Order & Creating Sub-Menus http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus

  Custom menu Troubleshooting – My pages are in the wrong order
  Check the sub-pages themselves to see if you have established a Parent page and child page “hierarchical structure” in the page attributes module. Remove if required.

  Also remove any “order” numbers you have assigned that may conflict with the order you are creating by dropping and dragging. Or simply change them so they are the same order as you establish in the menu. Establish consistency – problem solved.
