Hello hexhex, and welcome to the Monastery!

From Settings Nodelet | Newest Nodes:

Order nodes by: You can control the order in which nodes are listed in Newest Nodes. Currently, the available options are to order by creation time, by author ID (not name), or by title. The default is to order by creation time.

Update:

Also, under User Settings, in the section Note Configuration, there is a setting for specifying Note ordering.

Hope that helps,

Continuity was sacrificed on the altar of quality. Replies used to appear chronologically but after a few decades of temporal order the children decided that posts they most vote for should appear first. Father time was defeated by a private democracy. Nothing makes sense anymore and that's just how they like it! This post will be voted into invisibility along with all the other opinions the minions disapprove of. It was fun while it lasted...
