  Somehow, when I created my blog, I must’ve set it to display posts in chronological order. I am now trying to reset my pages so that they post in the default reverse chronological order, but I can’t figure out how to do it. Can anyone help figure this out?

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

  There are no published posts here https://bradyhines.wordpress.com/
  There are only published pages and the two are not the same. https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  The reverse chronological order applies to Posts, not Pages.

  There are two approaches you can use to order your pages. This first one is when you only have Pages and no custom menu.

  1. Page Order – Page attributes module order numerically rather than alphabetically.

  2. This second approach is for those who have created a custom menu and have added pages and/or other items such as custom links and dynamic categories pages to that custom menu.
  create a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
  add the pages and sub-pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-pages
  order them http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-of-menu-items-and-creating-sub-menus

  If you have a custom menu then you must establish consistency. Check the Pages 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

  If you don’t see the Page attributes module on your page, please make sure you’ve selected to display Pages in your Screen Options.
