 * I have WP2 and want the posts in one section to appear oldest post at the top.
   Does anyone know how to do this?

 * You can use [query_posts()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts)
   to initialize [The Loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop) with the ‘order’
   argument:
 * `<?php query_posts('order=ASC'); ?>`
 * For further help in this, you’ll need to clarify what you mean by “section.”

 * Thanks for the help the section is irrelevant I was thinking of pages.

 * I just noticed one thing, it seems to stop categories working. No matter what
   category I select the page remains the same.

 * I tried it on the default theme and it was ok the problem only showed it self
   on a different theme that I was trying.

 * “_Thanks for the help the section is irrelevant I was thinking of pages._“
 * If by “pages” you meant [Pages](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages), then can you
   clarify what you’re trying to order? If the Page listings in the sidebar, see
   the info on the ‘sort_order’ parameter for the [wp_list_pages()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages)
   template tag. If that’s not what you meant, then nevermind…
