The archives show the newest posts 1st. Is there a way to show the oldest 1st?

Can I change the order of the posts in the archives? My blog is chronological.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can create a page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ and use the appropriate Archives shortcoming on it > http://en.support.wordpress.com/archives-shortcode/
My blog is chronological.
Note: The only way you posts can be entered in chronological order is to falsify the publication dates before clicking “publish”.
Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool and you cannot change this order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. Readers arrive to read our most recent posts. In the case of my blog that means they don’t have to slog through over 860 posts to locate the most recent one.
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.
You could use a single sticky post as an index page > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

The archives shortcode will produce the same result with the regular archive pages: reverse chronological order. What you need is the display-posts shortcode:

Thank you both for your response. The problem is.. I am a complete novice. I need step by step directions because I have no Idea where to put this ‘shortcode’ you speak of.. or even what shortcode is.

What shortcode is:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/Create a page in Pages > Add New, and paste this in it:
[display-posts posts_per_page="-1" order="ASC"]
This will create a bulleted list of all your posts in chronological order.If you want no bullets, use this instead:
[display-posts posts_per_page="-1" order="ASC" wrapper="div"]
