Chapter Based Posting Order

    One of my blogs are in autobiography/book format where it is necessary to maintain sequential order from one chapter to the next. I have gotten the ‘post by post’ links to order correctly but upon first visit to the page, the last chapter shows up first instead of the “Chapter 1”. In other words, as I add additional chapters I still want the visitor to see Chapter 1 on the first page then click a link to the 2nd Chapter, etc. etc.
    How/where do I go about sorting in ascending order as opposed to descending order?

    Hrmmm…. this would be interesting. I wonder if there is a way to set it on a per category basis. ….. will need to think about this as it’s something I could use in one of my categories too.

    Where would this part go…
    index.php?orderby=asc&order=title
    …in order to hard code it? It looks like a link.

    Ugh. I swear I just answered this.
    If you want this global for the blog, insert a line at the top of index.php, just before the require_once(‘wp-blog-header.php’):
    $order=’ASC’;
    That should do it.

    What if you only want to change the order of posts in one category?

    I don’t know if this will help you, but i handle the chronology 2 ways:
    1. i tweak the date of each new post to keep the oldest first, and the newest last.
    2. i use the ‘next page’ tag to create one long ongoing article which i edit repeatedly.
    the second method works well… when i am ready to add, i simply edit my topic, scroll to the very bottom, and enter the ‘next page’ tag before i begin my newest entry…
    so the entries are paginated, and page one remains page one.
    also, i set this topic apart from the others by copying the index.php and adding $p="x" just below < ? php in the header.
    i link to it from my links, as well as the categories.
    trouble is…
    it’s getting up to like 35 pages, and that’s a lot for anyone to sit and read.
    thinking of figuring out some way to make it also a .pdf download.
    hope that at least triggered a spark for your solution.
