Reordering a single category

    Good morning,

    Reference website: http://www.psschina.com
    Theme: “Agent” by “Studiopress”

    I have a few boxes on the front page of my company website, which is set up to display posts from a specific category. The problem is, I would like the ability to reorder the posts (I think it defaults to chronological order, with the newest at the top).

    Currently, we have the latest blog post in the #1 position, but I would like to move that to #4. Posts 1, 2, and 3 are permanent information links, so I think they should be the most prominent. Is there a code or a plugin that will allow me to change the way posts are organized within a category? I know there are many that let you rearrange categories, but not the items within each category.

    Any code that would let me do reverse chronological order on a SINGLE category would be fantastic (I think that’s what I need).

    Thank you for your help!

    andao,

    The posts are ordered by date. Visit the admin panel and alter the dates for each post to reorder them.

    WordPress also allows for post order: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts#Order_Parameters

    Thanks for your response, but not so simple I’m afraid. I have three static posts, and one post that will change daily. So the only option under that method would be to alter all the posting dates daily (to keep the changing post as the “oldest”)

    A reverse chronological order would keep the changing post at the bottom, which is what I’m going for.

    andao,

    Did reverse order resolve this or are you still needing assistance?
