Reorder Posts by Date

By default, posts are ordered by their publish date on your website. If you want to order the posts in your preferred order, you need to manually manipulate the posts’ publish dates. The posts with the latest date will appear first, as the default sorting option is in descending order. To manually change the posts’ publish dates, follow the steps below:

1) Go to the posts that you want to re-order in their respective tab. For example, media posts in the ‘Media’ tab.

2) Hover over the post you want to modify the date for, and select the ‘Quick Edit’ link. This will open the main details page of the post.

3) On this page, you will find details about the post such as the slug, title, date, and more. Navigate to the ‘Date’ field and adjust the date and time accordingly.
