How to Reorder Posts in WordPress
If your blog is new, you do not need posts reordering. But when your blog grows you may need to change posts order.
But the biggest problem, WordPress does not allow you to do this by default. WordPress displays your blog post in reverse chronological order (from newest to oldest). There is no option to move the post up and down.
Thankfully there are some ways that can help to re-order the WordPress Blog Post.
1. Reorder Post using the plugin

As I said earlier, WordPress shows new posts first. So you can easily change the order of your posts by changing the Publish date.

3. Post Reorder Using Sticky Posts Feature
There are many users who reorder posts to highlight their posts as featured posts. Since WordPress provides a default feature to set sticky posts.
Sticky Post is a feature that appears above all posts on your blog’s homepage.
Just edit your post which you want to use as a sticky post. Then check the Stick to the Front Page option inside the document panel.

Then click the Update button. You can visit your blog to check it.
