Im not sure on blogger but the easiest way to do it is find the mysql query which selects data from the database and change it. I really don't know how blogger is written.

This is my question: Why would you want to show oldest first?

I would assume that readers would want fresh content so I'm curious as to why you would want to do this?

I don't think you can do that on blogger..

There is a plugin for wordpress that allow you to order your posts any way you want, but I don't know how you would do that in Blogger.
And to repeat the question, why do you want to have your oldest posts first?

I'd have to ask the same question here.

If you feel like your older posts haven't got the attention that they deserve simply write sequel post to it, linking the older post.

To the extent of my knowledge, you can't do that on Blogger.

Cheers!

I was also looking for an way to show the very first post at the beginning. Because the first post is the most valuable post for my blog. It has about 15 points. I wanted to explain each point on a separate post but want them to appear after the main post which is the very first post.

If there's just one post in particular you want to have at the top, there's a WordPress plugin that can do it for you: WP-Sticky. It's for WP 2.5 or higher, but if you haven't upgraded and don't want to, earlier versions are still available (see 'versions' link in the sidebar on the plugin's page at wordpress.org).

And if you're not on WordPress, some platforms let you add text widgets to the top of the page. If all else fails, you can edit your template by hand (being sure to take a backup copy first!) to add an 'announcement' to the top.
