 *  that post ordering on WP can be done in four different ways:
    ascending descending
   alphabetical category I am familiar with how to do it ascending (default) and
   category, but how is it possible to order posts descending or alphabetical? (
   I’m particularly interested in descending, as that is chronological.)

 * Hey.
    I just got this working. Add order=ASC to a URL. I am using the rewrite
   rules, so now for month and year pages, by modifying one rewrite rule, I have
   ascending, chronological posts: RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([0-9]{
   1,2})?/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /index.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name
   =$4&page=$5&order=ASC [QSA]

 * I’m sorry. I didn’t follow that. Can you be a bit more specific for a newbie 
   like me? I added what you had to my .htaccess file, but nothing changed in archives.
   What else must I do? I’m trying to get the posts for an archived month to display
   from the first day of the month to the last day.
