Sorry, I don't get the question. Can you explain a bit more?

To me this looks great, it created an archive for every week up to the current week.

Why would it be showing a Week 18 at the top when the blog has only existed for a week or two?

Is there a way to reverse the order so that the most recent prior week is 'offered' at the top, followed by older ones?

There's nothing at all in the archives at the moment - perhaps it will do that once I move some posts there?

BTW: If it uses the date-stamp when the blog entry was initially posted - is there a way that I could manually alter that field - so things start off correctly? (I'd like to add some missing content from my former web site that shared the same content - just in a much more complicated fashion.)

Thanks

In the screenshot of the configuration, there seems to be a setting to hide weeks without entries. If you activate that, does it help?

Yes, in the entry editor you can set the date of the entry completely freely. It's below the text area, "Entry metadata".

Yes, re. hiding empty weeks. Thanks!

I just looked at Edit Entries - that's awesome!

I see that there are check boxes for allowing Comments - I though that was universal unless specifically disallowed. Did I misunderstand that? (They weren't checked - I checked them for test purposes when I saw this.)

Is the sorting supposed to be as granular as time, as well as date, or only date?

If time is factored, is it in minutes, or hours?

I tried sequencing prior posts but a difference of 7:30AM and 7:45AM appears to be ignored.

Is that expected?

Not expected to me at least. Granted, nothing I ever tested with much attention, but I was under the impression that the order is down to the second. It's coming like that out of the database at least, or the code is at least suggesting that.

Please disregard ...

I must have failed to Save the change ... sigh.

Ah, good. Better this way than something being really broken :)
