 * `<?php query_posts('order=DESC') ?>` will show the posts with the most recent
   posts at the top.
 * `<?php query_posts('order=ASC') ?>` will show the posts with the oldest post 
   at the top.
 * Place the code before The Loop i.e. before `<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>`
 * Is that what you’re looking for?

 * If you’re talking about index page, then index.php
 * If the problem is with a category page, then category.php
 * Sorry I can’t help any more, but a link to the site or using the pastebin might
   make it clearer

 * yeah, there is a bug with certain versions of mysql which results in reversed
   behaviour when setting the sort order.
