Useful for journals, books or achives, who need to have a chronological sort order for certain category archives.

Works like a charme
by YogieAnamCara·1 year ago
I am so grateful for this plugin, it does exactly what I was looking for!
Some categories at my blog need to follow the publishing date and be read/displayed in chronological order. Job done with this plugin!
Fantastic! Just what I needed.

I’m still learning this craft of blogging and I’m not the most technical person, so this plugin really helped to get my memoirs in the right order. Thankyou.
Perfect for Travel Blogs
by darro·4 years ago
This is a perfect plugin for me. Super simple to achieve what I needed.
While I want people who visit my blogs to see the latest posts, I have a category for each trip. Having the ability to list these historical trip in chronological order from the first post is absolutely perfect.
Thanks so much for this plugin.

Oldest to Newest: Just what my Time Line needed
by cynthiablue44·5 years ago
Simple to use. I wanted to sort a historic Time Line of a Botanist Explorer, Allan Cunningham, from oldest to newest. So now the Time Line starts with the birth of Mr Cunningham, and not with his death. PERFECT!
