   Is it possible to reverse the chronological order of posts so that the order goes from first post to last?

   Just before your loop add this query_posts() statement:

   query_posts($query_string . '&order=ASC');

   Hi,

   i tried adding the string but it wasn't working. i checked the codex and realised there was an ampersand misssing. the correct string is below, it works fine now, thanks

   <?php query_posts($query_string . "&amp;order=ASC"); ?>

   I had to add this to the archive.php file in my theme.

   I'm having the same issue but trying your fix didn't help me. I must have something wrong. Funny thing is the string works because I can adjust the number of posts per page with no problem. Just can't get it to sort

   <?php query_posts($query_string.'&posts_per_page=5'."&order=DEC");if (have_posts()) : ?><?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   OOps this is the correct snippet for my previous post

   <?php query_posts($query_string.'&posts_per_page=5'."&&order=ASC");if (have_posts()) : ?><?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   Not sure what template you are using this in:

   query_posts($query_string.'&posts_per_page=5&orderby=date&order=ASC');

   Just in case, I'm leaving out the posts_per_page and saying this:

   oldest to newest
   

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

   newest to oldest
   

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

   I'm using it in config.php. Thanks foryour tip.... it didn't work. Here is the entire page code. I must be missing something.

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <div id="c_content">
   <div id="post_entry">
   <?php query_posts($query_string . '&orderby=date&order=ASC') ?>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?><?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   <div class="post_meta" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   <div class="post_top"></div>
   <div class="post_index">
   <div class="post_title">
   <div class="calendar">
   <p class="date"><?php the_time('j'); ?></p>
   <p class="month"><?php the_time('M'); ?></p>
   </div>
   <div class="post_info">
   <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
   <span class="author">Posted by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>&nbsp;<?php edit_post_link(__(' Edit'), '|', ''); ?></span>
   <span class="category">Published in <b><?php the_category(', ') ?></b></span></div>
   </div>
   
   <div class="post_content">
   <?php the_content("<br />" . "continue reading&nbsp;" . "&quot;" . the_title('', '', false) . "&quot;"); ?>
   </div>
   
   <div class="post_comment_counter">
   <div class="coms_count"><a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>"><?php comments_number('no comment','1 comment','% comments'); ?></a></div>
   </div>
   
   </div>
   <div class="post_bottom"></div>
   </div>
   <div class="clear_content"></div>
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   <div class="post_nav"><?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')): ?> <?php wp_pagenavi(); ?><?php else : ?><?php posts_nav_link(); ?>
   <?php endif; ?></div>
   
   <?php else: ?>
   
   <h3>The Category Had Been Deleted...</h3>
   
   <?php endif; ?>
   
   </div>
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Your code works okay for me. Maybe another plugin causing the problem.

    grrrr... that's what I was afraid of. OK.
    <Brief pause... lots of swearing and refreshing>

    OK. looks like WP Sticky Plug-in was the issue. I don't think I need it anymore anyway since my code works.

    Thanks.

    I am using this plug-in on a site I am developing -

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/default-sort-ascend/

    it reverses the sort order of WordPress - looks also like I need to figure out the part to make it a click on link here - I am using the plug in with a bit of code to sort a custom field based on the day a class starts not the day it was listed -

    Didn't install that plugin (default sort ascending) but that looks like it would change all queries to be that order.

    try this - if you're using a template that uses foreach($comments as $comment) just put $comments = array_reverse($comments); above the foreach.
