That could be a result of a database problem doing that, or could be the template tag, query_posts(), using an DESC order parameter.
Determine what Template is displaying your posts with the help of the Template Hierarchy article, then paste the content of that template in a pastebin and report the link back here.
How do I get that code for you? Is it in the index.php in the template? I am using WordPress Default 1.6. The addy of the blog is at:

Thanks. Keith
I only see one post on your blog.
That change I mentioned would likely be in wp-content/themes/default/index.php so if necessary paste the content of that file in a pastebin and report the link back here.
Hi Mike and thank you. Forgive me, but what is a pastebin? I will be gone most of the day, but will send asap. Thanks. Keith
Here is the index.php
<?php
/**
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Default_Theme
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<small><?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> <!– by <?php the_author() ?> –></small>
<div class=”entry”>
<?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>
</div>
<p class=”postmetadata”><?php the_tags(‘Tags: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘
‘); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> | <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ”, ‘ | ‘); ?> <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments »’, ‘1 Comment »’, ‘% Comments »’); ?></p>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class=”navigation”>
<div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(‘« Older Entries’) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link(‘Newer Entries »’) ?></div>
</div>
<?php else : ?>
<h2 class=”center”>Not Found</h2>
<p class=”center”>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.</p>
<?php get_search_form(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
That index.php looks okay.
I can only think of two other things:
1. A plugin is causing the problem, so try deactivting plugins
2. What version of MySQL is your host using? There was a MySQL Database issue when hosts upgraded, wonder if it’s that? Here’s one of many threads on that subject:

The index file is fine. As Michael says, there is only one post on your blog, did you mean to say comments instead of posts?
If so, to change the order of comments, go do your admin dashboard –> Settings –> Discussion –> Other Comment Settings –> and then select the option in “Comments should be displayed with the [newer] comments at the top of each page”
Thanks for your help. There are comments but you have to click on comments to see them. In Settings/Reading, I have the default set at Front page displays: Latstest Posts. But it’s not doing that. Thanks. Keith
kietoman,
you have only one post. Did you try to create more posts to see in which order they display?
As for the comments, it’s fine that you have to click on the link, because they show on your permalink (the individual post page), not on the front page, which displays your list of posts only, in a number you set in the admin dashboard.
You have to create more than one post, to see more than one displayed on the front page. Just call them “Test 1”, “Test 2”, “Test 3”, with a few words in the content. You will see them appear on your front page, and you will see them listed in the sidebar under “Recent Posts”.
