WP Posts Going in opposite Order

    Does anyone know if it's possible to have my blog entries go in reverse order? So instead of having a November 6th post be the first on the blog, I'd like it to be tacked onto the end. Main reason is that I'm using WP as a home for travelogs that I won't ever be adding new posts to and reading the last post first doesn't really make much sense, especially since nobody will have been following it from the start, it's all going up in one big lump.

    Thanks,
    Kirsty

    You'd have to rewrite the SQL query that pulls the posts, change the sort order

    That sounds scary and complicated... is it? (Keep in mind that my next question is: 'What is SQL?')

    If you don't know SQL then it may be complicated.

    Can you not just write the posts in the order you want them displayed?

    It can be complicated, especially considering that you're overloading a default WordPress function

    You may want to pay a developer to do it

    Mad4... I suppose I could but I also want the dates to be displayed so I'm assuming that will be screwed up once I enter the date?

    Why don't you just edit the date of each post (right hand side in admin) and rearrange it the way you want?

    Not sure this is what you mean?

    By the way, I like your cartoon...

    It's a travelog so the dates for each entry are sort of important. Thanks! Plenty more moose 'toons on my working holiday site too. Aussie moose, Kiwi moose, Yankee moose etc etc.

    This isnt reverse order but this theme allows you to section your posts, havent tried it, just had it bookmarked. click here

    Good luck
