I know that I can change this manually every time, but I would like for it do just stay with the newest post on top at all times. I cleared the browser's cookies/cache...like you suggested. It's not working. Please help!?

First, at the top: "Marvelous in My Monday 3/4" - published Mar 4, 2013 @ 5:11

Second, just below the above: "I made the switch!" - published Mar 3, 2013 @ 18:17

Third: "The switcheroo + Week of 3/4-3/10" - published Mar 3, 2013 @ 13:30

The display you're seeing is to be expected, because everything is in reverse chronological order, with the most recent posts displayed first.

If you're trying to switch the order of "I made the switch!" and "The switcheroo + Week of 3/4-3/10" you can click the Edit link next to either one of them, and adjust the publication time to change the order.

For example, on the post "The switcheroo + Week of 3/4-3/10" you will see this:

http://cl.ly/image/1G2Z1J063M3N

Click Edit, change the time to make it later than 18:17 on March 3, click OK, and click Update.

The positions of the two March 3 posts should now be reversed.

My blog was just for a trip I took and I will not be adding to it. Now I just want it to be something friends and family can read in the order the trip occurred. But thank you for answering my question that this is not possible. Have a great day!

Blogs are ever growing. people come to read your most recent post. Annoying them by compelling them to click through for example over 800 posts as I have on my blog would not be a good plan.

Setting that aside, the answer is "no" there is not button your can click and reverse the order.

Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool and you cannot change this order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. Posts will be posted to your blog in accord with their datestamps 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.

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
