I’m sure there is an option somewhere to do this, but I can’t find it (and it looks like nobody on this wordpress.org support thread could either), so I hacked up a tiny plugin to let you get Wordpress archives sorted in ascending date order.

Download: <b><a href="http://www.myelin.co.nz/post/2006/2/24/ascending-date-order-archives.php.txt">ascending-date-order-archives.php.txt</a></b>

Rename that to ascending-date-order-archives.php (i.e. remove the .txt extension) and save it in your wp-content/plugins directory, then go to your Wordpress plugins page and click ‘Activate’ on the Ascending date order archives plugin. From then on, your archives should appear in ascending order.

Leave a comment here if you have any issues.

I just heard from Layered Tech to say that my server (which hosts this blog, topicexchange.com, pycs.net, and so on) is going to be moved into a new datacenter; right now it’s at The Planet, and it’s going to SAVVIS.

This’ll happen in a couple of days, so there may be some downtime…

Update: All done. If you’re reading this, the new server is live.
