WordPress by default order posts in descending order by date. But I want them to be in ascending order by date.
How do I turn the order to ascending only for tags and category? I don't want blog post orders to change.

Man! I don't understand that much WordPress coding. I have only styled the archive.php no change in function. The post on my categories orders in Ascending and order by date. They are ordered on basis of new dates to older dates. Now, I want them to be in descending. – Bikram Feb 6 at 8:14

Having no coding experience you have to search for a plugin to achieve the goal. – Max Yudin Feb 6 at 8:36

You can use pre_get_posts action to modify this order. Here's the code:
function my_change_posts_order( $query ){
if ( ! is_admin() && ( is_category() || is_tag() ) && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
}
};
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_change_posts_order');
What we do here is:
- We're adding our function that will modify params for WP_Queries
- We make sure that it will change only main query (the one created by WordPress) and only on category and tag listings (
is_category()andis_tag()). - We change the order of posts for these pages by setting
ordertoASC
