    I tried [extra_archives type=”postbypost” order=”ASC”], hoping to generate an archive index of all posts in ascending date order, but apparently the order=”ASC” parameter is ignored in this case. Was this an intentional part of the design?

    I just looked at the source to wp_get_archives(), and apparently postbypost ignores order:

    } elseif ( ( ‘postbypost’ == $r[‘type’] ) || (‘alpha’ == $r[‘type’] ) ) {
    $orderby = ( ‘alpha’ == $r[‘type’] ) ? ‘post_title ASC ‘ : ‘post_date DESC, ID DESC ‘;
    $query = “SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts $join $where ORDER BY $orderby $limit”;

    I wonder if the WordPress maintainers would consider a patch like this to wp_get_archives:

  		if ( $results ) {
+ 		        if ( $order == 'ASC' ) $results = array_reverse( $results );
  			foreach ( (array) $results as $result ) {
  				if ( $result->post_date != '0000-00-00 00:00:00' ) {
  					$url = get_permalink( $result );

    It turns out the Annual Archive plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/anual-archive/) implements a post_order parameter that works with postbypost. So this shortcode solved my problem:

    [archives type=’postbypost’ post_order=’asc’]
