Joomla Articles: To order Joomla articles on Category Blog/List pages

By default Joomla displays articles on Category/Section Blog or List pages in the order in which you publish them. You can, however, change change the ordering method to one of the following:

• alphabetical ascending or descending, by title
• oldest or newest first
• ordering (the order in which the articles appear in the Article Manager).

1. On the Menus menu, click the menu that contains the Category/Section Blog/List link.
   ***To configure the Front Page Manager instead of a section or category blog, click in the default or Home page link in the menu manager.
