   Hello all, I know that there are some solutions to this on the forums but, not sure how to implement any of them. I am running the Theme "Ahimsa 3.0 by Ravi Sarma" and I thought I had seen at some point the ability to reverse the post order so the oldest is first, but now I cannot seem to find it anywhere. Anyway, if there is not a simple button to do it is there a way for a non-coder to reverse the order? Any help would be appreciated. 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.

   Allright I tried, but could not find how to change permissions to write to the file. I have a question into tech support at Network Solutions
