I want to know how to make it show older post first.
For example i make a category and i make a post which gives instructions on how to do stuff like step 1
then i post step 2 and step 3 and so on.
What i want is it to show the post step 1 first so as i add more
step post at a later date people don't have to back track to the first
post and can just go step 1 and so on.
Having it show the last step makes it look bad and having to change the dates doesn't let me show the newest step in recent post
You'd need to create a custom query along the lines of
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args= array(
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => 'ASC',
'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts($args);
?>
and place it above the Loop in the relevant theme template files.

Another alternative would be to use two loops as shown in this tutorial.
Yet another option.....
If you only have a few posts to reorder and you don't want to change the template files, you might consider the post mash plugin:
post mash link
Once you install and activate the plugin, you'll have a new option under posts called 'postMash'. You can drag and drop the posts to appear in the desired order.
Good luck.
