 * 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](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts)
   explains the arguments in detail.
