As i am transferring hand written diary entries to this online one i have buggared soma up - and on my frontpage of diary i'd like them to be in order of date. Any idea if that's possible? x

Are you meaning that you'd like the entries to be sorted by when you first wrote them and not when you posted them?
If this is what you mean -- you can go to 'edit entry' and on the left side of the entry editor is a place to change the date.
