How do I display latest entries first?

    I just installed WP and made two posts. After the second one, I checked to see how it looked and it was appearing below the first (older) post.

    I looked through the dashboard/settings and saw nothing to the effect of “Display most recent at top” or “Show latest entries first”.

    Am I just overlooking something? Do you need a plugin? Will I have to edit the theme?

    Please help. Thanks!

    I’m sure there’s another thread on here, but I can’t find it. A link please?

    There shouldn’t be anything you have to do to get your latest posts appearing first. Perhaps a link to your site would help someone to work out what’s happening.

    Perhaps it’s simply a problem with certain themes?

    Have you tried switching to the default theme to confirm that it’s theme-specific?

    If you do change to the WordPress Default theme as suggested by Technokinetics, and the problem persists, it could be part of the know problem with MySQL 5.0.51–if so talk to your host about upgrading MySQL.

    It was the theme.

    I checked it once earlier, but didn’t post anything new, just expected the previous entries to “sort” themselves.

    Apparently after you make an entry with a corrupt theme, the timestamp will never be recognized correctly. Great. Time to rewrite some stuff with a functional theme. ??

    Is there any good doc on ensuring you don’t encounter this known problem when theme’ing for yourself?

    Thanks a lot guys.
