How To Reverse The Order In Which Posts Are Listed On Your Blog

A very common question i have been asked is on how to change the order that posts are displayed on your blog.Basically all blogs have the format of showing your latest post first and the rest of the posts follow according to the date in which they were published.While this is the default blog standard since the start of web logs some people would like to have their blog posts listed in the opposite direction, so the oldest post is at the top of the homepage and the rest of the posts follow with the latest post last so to speak.

Their are many reasons a blogger may want to reverse the order of their blog posts, for example if you use your blog for short story's you will want the first chapter to be at the top of the homepage not the latest chapter.Until now in order to reverse the order you needed to play around with the dates which had it's faults mainly the fact that the date for each post would be wrong but i recently came across a blogger hack that can automatically list your entire blog in reverse order with just a little code needed and i will show you how to easily add this code to your blog.
