  This is driving me nuts… pissing me off to be blunt.

  This is so basic, so fundamental, and there are tons of people asking

  So really, there has got to be a way to sort posts oldest to newest

  It’s the stupidest customize option to be missing

  All the posts I’m finding are either old or complicated CSS info I don’t think is accessible anymore

  So please tell me, does anyone know how to change the chronological order of posts? Please?! In 2013?

  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. 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.

  Note if the limitation here at WordPress.com does not suit, then you can hire a web host set up a WordPress.org install and install a plugin to reverse the order posts are displayed in.
  Comparison here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
