Unable to find sort option in category after plugin installed

    Hi, I am new to WordPress, so apologies if I am missing the obvious.

    My website has several categories to show posts for future and historic events, however the posts are all shown by descending date so I installed this plugin to sort future posts by <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>ascending</span> date.

    The instructions were very simple:

    1. Upload the ‘reorder-posts-within-categories’ folder to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
    2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
    3. Go to the settings page to activate sorting for each categories you choose.

    Once uploaded and activated, the WP settings showed:
    ” Options saved. A sub-menu is now placed under each post type menu in your dashbaord to access the sorting page.”

    But the category settings did not have a sort option as I expected so I still cannot reorder the posts by ascending date.

    What have I missed?

    Hi @tadsneil

    this plugin allows manual sorting of posts on the ReOrder post admin page.

    the plugin has the option to set the initial order by ascending or descending date, you will find that in the FAQ section.

    however, if you just need your post displayed in ascending date order then it’s similar to do it with a hook in your functions.php file. You can either
