I hope you do know that post ids are set to autoincrement and the oldest post will have the least id and so on. So unless you have some system that checks the missing post ids (of the ones deleted) and switches off Auto Increment and then adds new posts with old ids, the question doesn't stand.– Saurabh ShuklaMar 2, 2015 at 11:06

1@Ehsan - Unless I'm losing the plot, posts are by default sorted by date when viewing them in the Admin area. If that is not what you want, most of the columns are sortable by clicking on the column header.– David GardMar 2, 2015 at 16:51

@SaurabhShukla - Users can edit the publish date of a Post after it has been created, so if Posts were to be ordered by ID (which they are not by default) then they wouldn't necessarily be in date order.– David GardMar 2, 2015 at 16:52

@DavidGard Oh, that I didn't consider in this context thanks to the description I have.– Saurabh ShuklaMar 2, 2015 at 17:02

You must add this part to function.php:
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'example_func', 1 );
function example_func( $query ) {
if ( is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( 'order' , 'DESC' );
}
return $query;
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'change_post_sort', 1 );
function change_post_sort( $query ) {
if ( is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( 'order' , 'DESC' );
$query->set( 'orderby', 'modified');
return $query;
}
