While I haven't had a chance to search see if anyone's implemted this yet ... I would like to see a feature which gives you the monthly archives in ascending order ... for instance ... January's archives will start from January 1st post and go down.

Currently the standard is to scroll down to the page and read up.  It will be a cute little thing if this feature is implemented or if it's even do-able.

there is an option in blog config for that.

you're given and option for sorting entries by ascending or descending order.


you probably havent seen anyone do it cos most people dont use it for thier blogs as visitors expect to see newer information first.

If used... it's most probably in some archive listing of some sort... but nothing stops you from sorting urs that way.

You can use the sort_order attribute in your template to affect how entries are listed.  In my blog, for example, on the main page I list newest entries first, but in the monthly archives I list them in chronological order.

To do that, you would modify the monthly archive template like so:
CODE
<MTEntries sort_order="ascend">

Of course, all this is documented in the manual...
