 * Hi [@spiros](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spiros/),
 * You can use the shortcode [archives order=desc] or [archives order=asc]
    Check
   [HERE](https://en.support.wordpress.com/archives-shortcode/) for more shortcode

 * Hi, thanks, but that will display posts in reverse (posting) order, not alphabetically.

 * Woops sorry, install the [Extra Shortcodes](https://wordpress.org/plugins/extra-shortcodes/)
   plug-in and enter the shortcode [extra_archives type=”alpha”]

 * Thanks! Great solution, sadly not possible on a wordpress.com hosted site (unless
   the team adds extra parameters to the shortcode).

 * Hi,
 * Well you can always download the plug-in and check the custom codes yourself.
   Add them manually to the functions.php and you should be ready to go 😉

 * Due to the differences between the various site hosting plans offered at wordpress.
   com and the self-hosted and self-installed version of WordPress supported here,
   you should probably ask [WordPress.com Support](https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/)
   instead.
