 * How do I sort my posts? I want it sorted by date, but right now it is sorted 
   in reverse alphabetical order by title. I installed WP smart sort but I still
   don’t see any option which allows me to sort my posts by date!
 * Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you, MC

 * Shouldn’t those posts be listed by date by default?

 * Normally they are sorted by date. Perhaps your theme has modified the default
   sort order.
 * See this page
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts)
   You can put a query_posts statement with an orderby clause before the wordpress
   loop, to have it sort as you like. If you are talking about your main blog page,
   the template file to check is index.php in your theme’s folder
