How to Change the Order of Your WordPress Posts
The default WordPress system, like most blog-management systems, displays your posts in reverse chronological order. This means your latest entry is on the top part of the WordPress "Loop," which is the article listing. There are two ways you can change the order of WordPress posts: manually change the date, or use a drag-and-drop WordPress plug-in that allows you to change the post order.
