    Hi, I Googled for a way to display posts in chronological order. I found a solution at this link, but I am thinking this cannot be the easy way. Is there a simpler way? Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    using the WordPress Default theme, in the wp-content/themes/default/index.php file, you would add this line:

    <?php query_posts($query_string . '&order=ASC'); ?>

    just before this line:

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

    Thank you. I figured there was a plugin, I need to be better at finding them.

    LOL – that looks like just the one you needed too :)!

    Honestly, I was thinking there must be an admin setting the core wordpress for this. I’ll get the feel for this after awhile. Right now, it takes all my willpower to resist making fun of WordPress. ??

    I mean, a plug in to change the order of post display. How is that considered intuitive? I guess the intuition is that everything you want WP to do requires a plug in, so the point of WPress seems to be accepting plugins and not much else. I think WP is a strange system. I think the same of Drupal and Joomla, for exactly the same kinds of reasons. I am not sure that line of discussion is possible on this forum. People seem to see it as bashing, but it isn’t that. I am just struggling to have sanity and understanding of WordPress at the same time.
