Wordpress help

Hi,

Bit of an odd one this but is it possible to have wordpress display your posts from a specific date in chronological order?

I usually spam my own blog with multiple thoughts in one day but then the posts seem out of order.

Can't see anything in the options/control panel and not having much luck tracking down a suitable plugin

Any help appreciated

I was under the impression that the posts were displayed in newest to oldest order, not random :-S am I totally wrong with that?

Yeah thats right

A post made on 5th Sep at 2am will be pushed down by a post made at 3am.

However I was wondering if it's possible to do the reverse of that and make all post on any given day appear chronologically

Found a temp work around by editing the time the post was made which forces them to be re-ordered....

I would imagine if you want to do any re-ordering you're going to have to edit the theme "Main Index Template" (index.php).
Could look here to start: http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
Not 100% sure on this, but seems correct to me!

Yeah you'd need to edit the while loop, as mentioned above but I'm not sure how easy it would be to make it reverse for each day. Id say post on the wordpress forum, I'm sure someone will hav an idea
