Overview
Chronological posts reverses the default post order throughout your site to be chronological instead of reverse-chronological. This can be useful for sites displaying historical content, journals, books, etc. where the content is intended to be read chronologically (typically, it works well for any sites where the entire content of the site – every post – is intended to be read sequentially). It is also useful for archived sites, preserving the history of posts in a sequential format, oldest to newest.

Perfect for Series and Courses
by sanjayrath·1 month ago
Does something very simple, very easily – that is to make the posts chronological. This is excellent for any type of study – a book, a series, a course or even programs. This should have been an automatic option in WP. It would be nice to have options to make some categories chono and others non-chrono. Thats another level
Perfect for creating a online course
by Stig·4 years ago
The plugin was just what I needed. It is perfect for my online course.
I use the category for the course title and the posts for the chapters.
Thank you.

Good Stuff, but…

When reversing posts, the labels Next Post/Prev Post remains the same. It means that in order to chronologically continue reading you have to click Prev Post instead of Next Post. It’s kind of misleading.
So simple, so perfect!
