I’m trying to post a story in blog format. So I want the posts to display in “chapter” order. But the “blog archive” page lists NEWEST-first — which means the archive page will list the chapters in reverse order, adding later chapters to the TOP of the list.
I tried changing the dates so the list is correct — but then the next/previous links are reverse of the chapter order. 🙁
It seems to me there must be a way to reverse the posts archive list so it displays oldest-to-newest, but I can’t find it in the Colon Plus theme controls or page edit options. Is there a way to do this? I can even do some coding/scripting, if necessary, but I don’t know where to look in the theme files.

Hi Sean
Thanks for reaching out. You have to use the following code in order to reverse the blog posts by date.
function colon_change_blog_post_order($query) {
if ($query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query()) {
$query->set('orderby', 'date');
$query->set('order', 'ASC');
}
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'colon_change_blog_post_order');
Please follow the steps to do that:
Step1) Install and activate the plugin called Code Snippets. (https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/)
Step 2) Then add a new PHP snippet
Step 3) Addd Name to it and add the code above
Step 4) Click on Save changes and make sure to select “Only run on site front-end”.
