We have a ton of content on the site, many custom taxonomies, relying on Salient's archive page template. The issue is with the functionality. It is pulling in all entries from OLDEST to NEWEST. We need NEWEST to OLDEST. How can one go about actioning this? It's mission critical. THgere REALLY REALLY REALLY should be an option for this within Salient's blog archive configuration. You give your users no options to sort / filter whatsoever.
To clarify., the theme uses the native wordpress core functionality to show the posts order. To change the order of your posts, try using this plugin or something similar to achieve this https://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/
It helps a little but still relies on custom coding which I'm not well versed in. Can you not please be of more assistance insofar as how to actually implement the code I require to get the job done? I presume I'd add all code to my child theme's functions.php file? RankMath are saying WP's default behaviour is to show the newest posts first? "The best approach to present content on your website may not always be to show the most recent posts first." This is not the case.
EDIT: so I disabled the 'post types order' plugin and it has defaulted to newest first. So case closed :)

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for getting in touch.
To clarify., the theme uses the native wordpress core functionality to show the posts order. To change the order of your posts, try using this plugin or something similar to achieve this https://wordpress.org/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/
I hope this info helps.
