I have search plugin, there are not yet plugin for this.
Because I want static pagination result, for SEO, I hope I’m not wrong with this opinion.

Thank You.

EDIT

I try to explain with sample.

eg.: every page limit by 3 posts and have total 15 posts (total 5 pages).
The position in Blog Home Default is page 5 (because the latest pages are 5).
So the blog home display like this: 

(date) - Title
**15** Jan 2011 - A dummy title
**14** Jan 2011 - A dummy title
**13** Jan 2011 - A dummy title
pagination display: (5) - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1

And if I click page 4, content entry not display correctly, it display like this: 

(date) - Title
**06** Jan 2011 - A dummy title
**05** Jan 2011 - A dummy title
**04** Jan 2011 - A dummy title
pagination display: 5 - (4) - 3 - 2 - 1

Instead of that, page 4 should be like this: 

**12** Jan 2011 - A dummy title
**11** Jan 2011 - A dummy title
**10** Jan 2011 - A dummy title
pagination display: 5 - (4) - 3 - 2 - 1

notes: I also put sample with date, to
make it clear sample.

How can this will happen without touching the core WordPress?
Thank You.

  1. You could use wp_paginate_links(), pass it the 'type' => 'array' parameter in the argument array, and then array_reverse() the output.

    But: if you’re doing this for SEO purposes, don’t bother. Your canonical URL should be your single-post view, not an archive index; so the index archive page numbers should have minimal SEO impact, no matter what order the page numbering.

    If you want to reverse the order of the posts themselves, you’ll either need to use a custom query, or modify the default Loop query, likely by changing the $order from DESC to ASC.

    EDIT 3

    If you just want to reverse the order of the posts themselves, then just change $order from DESC to ASC, and don’t do an array_reverse() on the wp_paginate_links() call.
