how are you trying to set the category post order?

custom theme:
<?php
query_posts($query_string . "&order=ASC"); ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
and many variations of query posts, wp query etc
try using an added action based on 'pre_get_posts' –
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/pre_get_posts
example code (for instance to be added into functions.php of your theme):
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'category_sort_order' );
function category_sort_order( $query ) {
if ( is_admin() || ! $query->is_main_query() )
return;
if ( is_category() ) {
// reverse sort order for category archives
$query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
return;
}
}
‘ASC’ will show the oldest post at the top of the list.

thank you.. tried it.. no result… so i change
// reverse sort order for category archives
$query->set( ‘orderby’, ‘title’ );
just to check if it was working and it was working.. nicely… by title.. but no other change made to it will effect the order for date…
then tried
$query->set( ‘orderby’, ‘rand’ );
and it worked nicely as well, but no reaction takes place with order as ASC or DESC using the date….
am stumped…

here is the blog category template being used (wp_pagenavi has been removed and returned checking for conflicts and there were none)
<?php
/**
* The template for displaying the BLOG Category.
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Eleven modified
* @since Twenty Eleven 1.0
* Compliant with 3.8.3
*/
get_header(); ?>
