   I have a site with a list of monthly newsletters. I cannot figure out how to get them in chronological order. I changed the order numbers and this shows in the dashboard but not on the site itself.

   Please help.

   Thanks

   To resort the order of posts, using the WordPress Default theme for example, in the wp-content/themes/default/index.php file, just before the line:
   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

   put this:

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

   The query_posts() article explains the arguments in detail.

   Usually the relevant page - category.php? Index.php? - will have a query_posts. In there you can add order=ASC or order=DESC (can't remember which)

   So I am guessing that I need to make the changes from the editor (HTML) page and not the dashboard. Is this correct?

   You would be using the theme editor for that.
