Theme suggestion… reverse order posts

    Hi… I’m not too knowledgeable about theme’s or the terminology involved- but I would love to be able to use one that allows me control of the order of posts. Specifically for one blog I have, the order shows last post-first, and I wish I could reverse that to be able to tell a linear story rather than a reverse order story… any suggestions of theme’s or where I can get that information – or – the terminology I could look for in a theme’s options so I could find one on my own?

    Thanks.

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

    There is no universal setting you can use to achieve reversing the structure.

    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. There is no upgrade that allows you to change this post 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.
