 * After looking everywhere for the answer to this, I’m hoping someone here can 
   help out.
 * All my categories have posts that show by title. This is the code:
 * > <?php if (is_category()) { $posts = query_posts($query_string . ‘&orderby=title&
   > order=asc’); } ?>
   >  <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
 * But now I have one category where I want the posts to show newest to oldest. 
   If the category name is ‘Articles And Essays’ (ID is 42), how can I put some 
   code in there so WordPress shows posts in this one category differently to the
   rest?
 * Thanks,
    Aisha

 * Not tested, but off the top of my head, this should work:
 * `<?php if (is_category(42)) { $posts = query_posts($query_string . '&orderby=
   date&order=asc'); } ?>`
