  I want to be able to determine the sequence of each additional post on WordPress. Said differently, I am posting articles that need to cover a time from earlier to later in time. In addition, I want to be able to edit, add and remove previous posts to follow a specific . sequence. Currently, each additional post automatically moves to the top of the previous posts. Please send responses to my email: (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi,

  Could you please provide the URL address of your site?
  You can edit the dates of your post from your post’s editor. On the right panel under Status you will see the button “Publish immediately”, you can click on the down arrow which will open the calendar. From there you can choose a future or a past date which will allow you to control the time and order in which a certain post is going to be published on your website.

  You can also set your home page to a Static Home Page which will show the page you choose as the Front Page instead of one showing your latest posts.

  Additionally you can find more information on posts on this support page:

  Let us know if this helps and whether you need more help.

  It is useful to first think through the project and determine whether your presentation is best achieved through posts or pages or a combination of the two.

  By default, posts are designed to display in reverse chronological order (from newest to oldest), but this support article offers some options:

  Might the use of categories for your posts help?
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/

  Another alternative is to create your posts but choose not to link to the traditional post page and instead create a Table of Contents page or a custom menu to list them in your preferred order and link to the specific post URL.
