Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool and you cannot change this order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog.

Readers arrive to read our most recent posts. In the case of my blog that means they don't have to slog through over 800 posts to locate the most recent one.

See here for the option of creating a book-like structure > http://en.support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/ Perhaps that will work for you.

You could use a sticky post as an index page > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

I'm pretty new so sorry for not understanding exactly what I'm looking for. I'm using the mixfolio theme, which I very much like, but am wondering if there is a way to change the order of my posts so the Oldest is always first?

Is that something I would have to do by purchasing customization? or is there a way to change the post order in the dashboard?

Thanks for any help!

Posts will be posted to your blog in accord with their date stamps at publication. WordPress by default shows posts in reverse chronological order (newest post on top). For returning visitors, this is very convenient since they can see the latest post without having to page down through page after page of hundreds of posts they have already read.

If you wish you can set an introductory sticky post to display at the top of the front page ie. the main page for posts.

There's also an option of creating a book-like structure > http://en.support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/

If your posts are not displaying in reverse chronological check your timezone. The default is UTC time. Change it to your own date and timezone on this page > Settings > General
You reset it to your own timezone by selecting the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu you see there and then click "save changes".

If that does not result in success then how many sticky posts do you have?

1. Make sure you have not set a lot of posts as sticky posts and if you have remove the sticky designation.
2. Make sure your timezone setting > Settings General is correct
3. If that does not resolve the issue this may resolve it http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/sidebar-at-the-bottom-and-related-issues/

I posted my tenth post today and they went crazy. I do not have any sticky posts and I have selected the correct time zone. I went in and re-selected the correct time zone and it didn't change the posts at all. I do appreciate all the help, but so far it's a no-go. My most recent post is first, then it jumps to July, June then back to September as you scroll. It's very odd.
