Might I suggest another workaround? It's very easy (though hard to describe) and involves you just a little bit more work (once done, done forever).

If you post your stories under different categories, you can group same-category posts together and set up 'categorised' navigation menus so visitors can pick and choose which categories to read.

To set up category menus, go to your Dashboard > Appearance > Menus.

There, you'll find panels to set up menus for Posts, Pages, etc.

Hope this helps too.

I had a hunch that there was not a way to do that. I like your idea, however, of a static page with the post entries in the order I want them. Thank you!

Please don't mind me if I say this (because sometimes I too want to do what you're asking for), but displaying oldest-first post is kind of counterintuitive in blogging - but I get your drift.

Might I suggest a cop-out workaround? Create a static page (maybe called "Archives" or "Index of stories"?) and put in your individual links to your posts in the order that you wish them to be read.

It's not a great workaround, but it does work for some people sometimes.

Hope this answers.

I make posts to a specific category, and when the posting sequence is done (maybe in a few months) I'd like to have the posts displayed in the order of oldest first. Anyway to do that?
