 * I recently had a custom theme created but one problem that persists is that the
   posts show up in reverse chronological order. Every other theme that I’ve tried
   on the same servers (1and1.com) work perfectly fine except for this new one. 
   I’ve seen the other threads on this being a MySQL issue but other themes work
   fine so I don’t see how it could be that.
 * I’ve also tried the theme on a MediaTemple hosted blog and the post order is 
   correct with newest first.
 * Could it be my 1and1.com’s WP installation (2.6.3)? Thoughts please?

 * Nevermind – I figured it out.
 * Added:
 * `query_posts($query_string."&order=DESC");`
 * before:
 * `(have_posts())`
 * and worked perfectly.

 * I tried that Using ASC to reverse order and it forced posts as my front page 
   instead of the static page I set and also overrode any menu widgets too. I removed
   it.
