  Hello, I’m trying to get the categories to display in ascending order (oldest to newest) rather than descending (newest to oldest). Does anyone know how to get this to work?

  Every time I add in a code to layout1.php (which is what the category.php is using) to sort it to ascending, such as <?php query_posts($query_string . ‘&orderby=date&order=ASC’); ?> it does sort it in the correct order, but then it displays posts from the other categories as well, which I don’t want. Is there a way to only sort ascending for that category’s posts and not have posts from other categories show?

  Open up functions.php and replace this:

  function asteria_home_query($query) {
      if ( $query->is_home()) {
  		global $asteria;
  		set_query_var( 'post_type', 'post' );
  		set_query_var( 'paged', ( get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1) );
  		if(!empty($asteria['enable_cat'])){
  		$postcount = $asteria['n_posts_field_id'];
  		$postcat = $asteria['posts_cat_id'];
  		set_query_var( 'posts_per_page', ''.$postcount.'' );
  		if(!empty($asteria['posts_cat_id'])){set_query_var( 'cat', ''.implode(',', $postcat).'' );}
  		}
      }
  	
  }
  add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'asteria_home_query' );

  with this:

  function asteria_home_query($query) {
      if ( $query->is_home()) {
  		global $asteria;
  		set_query_var( 'post_type', 'post' );
  		set_query_var( 'paged', ( get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1) );
  		if(!empty($asteria['enable_cat'])){
  		$postcount = $asteria['n_posts_field_id'];
  		$postcat = $asteria['posts_cat_id'];
  		set_query_var( 'posts_per_page', ''.$postcount.'' );
  		if(!empty($asteria['posts_cat_id'])){set_query_var( 'cat', ''.implode(',', $postcat).'' );}
  		}
      }
  	if ( $query->is_category()) {
  		set_query_var( 'order', 'ASC' );
  		}
  	
  }
  add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'asteria_home_query' );
