Need “button” to present all posts in chron order

My new site is going to be a “pure diary” about a process that will take about a year from start to finish — so it’s important for latecomers to have an easy was of starting from the first day and catching up with the others.

I have searched the forum for a solution, but have not found a solution; and I am not interested in hacking the code.

I have alread installed a sticky plugin so the first post will always be at the top of the first page.

Instead of trying to reverse Wordrpess’ default order of listing the most current posts at the top, instead of the earliest posts, what I need is a link I can put in the sidebar so that any visitor can click the link and be presented with all of the posts in natural chron order, earliest first and most recent last.

It could be one page or several linked pages.

It could be “live posts,” but actually I would be just as happy if the visitor got formatted text only, since I am not eager to get comments to posts that are nine months old anyway…

Is there code that I can put “behind” a menu link, that will call the function necessary to achieve what I have in mind?

Thanks for your help.
