   thanks for replaying, but i have some more questions:

   Because i have not a category file but i have the archive.php I have understood that i have to copy the archive.php and rename it in archive-2.php right?

   Wich code i have to add in archive.php to call the archive-2.php

   I want my category (called archive-2.php) make it in reverse chronological order (from the oldest to the newest one articles) but how to do this?

   How make the the "archive-2.php" corresponds to the category i desire?

   thank you

   a:
   don't call the file archive-2.php;
   call it category-my-desire.php - where my-desire is the category slug of your desired category.

   to reverse the order, add a line with query_posts() before the beginning of the loop:

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

   put some articles at the top of the category

   this might need a clearer definition of 'some';

   however, this question is so different from your existing topic, you might want to start a new thread to get more attention.

   he wants 4 articles of that category at the top, before the others articles that should continue to their ASC order..

    is this just for the special category template?
    how is he going to set the names or IDs of these four posts?

    assuming, for instance, if you have the post IDs (as a comma separated list, or in an array), you can simply make a foreach loop with get_posts() using the 'include' parameter before the main loop;
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts
    then, before the main loop begins, you could include a query to exclude these posts from whatever comes;
    for instance using the 'post__not_in' paramter with an array of the post IDs.

    how i would structure it:
