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.
or if you are doing your own query:
<?php
$cat_id = get_cat_ID('portfolio');
$args=array(
'cat' => $cat_id,
'orderby'=>'date',
'order'=> 'ASC',
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
echo 'List of Posts';
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
<?php
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

Thankyou Michael
How do i determine what order they go in though, put a number in a custom write panel, or custom field…something like that?
Sorry, missed you didn’t want Ascending…
You could use custom fields and query_posts has a custom field argument to do that
$args=array(
'cat' => $cat_id,
'orderby'=>'meta_value',
'order'=> 'ASC',
'meta_key' => 'your_custom_field_key_here'
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
Or a plugin:
