  i am having a problem. i have a blog i started, and i’ve posted 4 different blogs today. they are not in the order that i posted them; they are in alphabetical order. how do i change that. because my OTHER blog (eightiesbaby.wordpress.com) is in the order that i posted it. please reply because i like WORDPRESS, and i don’t want to switch to blogspot.

  I’m not seeing alphabetical:

  90210…
  The…
  Miracle…
  The…

  First thing to do to make sure things are getting posted correctly is to go to settings > general and set the proper GMT/UTC time offset for your time zone.

  Next, go to manage > posts and hover your mouse over the dates in the left column for the posts. That will show the date and the time the posts were timestamped (published).

  If you want to change the order the posts are showing now, open each post for edit and change the timestamp (edit link adjacent to published date/time above the save button. After changing the time, make sure and “save” the post.

  I think what he is asking is if there is a was for reverse-reverse chron’illogical’ order. Displayed First post ever to the newest being last.

  ie. like reading a book/diary.

  Not only am I wondering if that’s possible, it does seem basic, but is there a way to isolate the choice of chronological order for a category but not for the overall lay out for the blog?

  ie.
  Home:recent to oldest
  Category named “My story from beginning to end”:Oldest to most recent.

  Blogs already show reverse chronological order, ie, newest to oldest. And no, you can’t change it on the archive pages here at wordpress.COM
