   hi, i have a website (www.squattheplanet.com) where i have multipule authors and i want ONLY the categories "StP Chapter 1" and "StP Chapter 2" to list the posts from the first posted to the last instead of vice versa. this is for readablity purposes, as id like the reader to start from the first story in the chapter instead of the last :). i want all the other categories to list as normal. is there a way to do this? i can't seem to find it in the codex.

   thanks!

   Might take a look at this plugin:

   Well then take a look at Category Templates and Template_Tags/query_posts.

   I'm thinking you'd use a query on the page to show posts in ascending or descending order as desired? Something like:
   <?php
   if (is_category(4,5))
   {
   query_posts("order=ASC");
   }

   else {
   query_posts("order=DESC");
   }
   ?>

   or something like that...

   Look in the Template Tags for queries
