Wordpress Blog - Chronological Order

BettorAssist

Hello,

I recently set up a wordpress blog. I would like my posts to appear in chronological order.

Could you give me some pointers on how to make this happen?

Thanks.

What theme are you running? What's your technical ability? (any familiarity with php?)

In index.php, you should see something like

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

stick the following before it:

<?php query_posts($query_string . '&order=ASC'); ?>

Function reference can be found here where you can see the suggested way, rather than the easiest.

By default they should already be in chronological order.

I have no technical ability regarding this. I haven't a clue where to even go to paste your code.

I have been reading a bit about this in the last couple of days and it seems that that code is only used for wordpress.org blogs. I have a wordpress.com blog (basically wordpress host it for me for free is the big difference).

I am trying to find out if I can get a theme that will put the posts in chronological order from a third party or some other way to get this done.

There are countless queries on the web about this and for some reason wordpress.com just won't add this feature to their .com blogs and save a lot of people and their moderators a lot of time dealing with this single topic.

Another thing I have noticed about wordpress.com blogs is when you change themes any hyperlinks you had previously as http://xxxxx.com/ become http://http://xxxxx.com/ which means you have to fix each of your hyperlinks every time you change theme so I am looking for a theme that will be used for the lifetime of the blog.
