How to Change the Post Order in WordPress
WordPress sorts blog posts by date so that the most recent submission appears first. If you prefer to have your entries presented in a different manner, you have the option to change this. You can use the menus on a WordPress.com blog account to reorder your posts; if you have a self-hosted WordPress site, use a plugin to change the post order.
