I am in the process of editing a website (and am fairly new to this) and one thing that I need to achieve is to change the order that the blog posts display in the drop down menu. At the moment they go in ascending order, with the oldest post being at the top. But I need to change this so that the newest posts displays at the top, on firstly the 'Year' sub-menu, and then the 'Month' sub-menu.

If anyone could help point me in the right direction it would be a great help.

The blog is using ublogsy and I am using umbraco 4.11

Here is a rough example of how the content tree is structured.

This is the XSLT file that is generating the menu.
