Hello fellow forum users!
I have just been given a site to administer and, being new to Drupal, I'm having some problems that I can't figure out, probably because of the language and terms and I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out or point me in the right direction. I have tried looking on line for documentation, but I think because I'm not quite sure of all the terms I can't find the right answer(s).
I have some pages with lists on them: http://artsarena.org/events and http://artsarena.org/artsadvisoryboard
I just want to change the order of the lists. For the Events page I want to have them in chronological order, 2013, 2012, 2011, etc. For the Advisory Board page I'd like to have the list in alphabetical order by last name.
Also, despite my best efforts i can't find a way to update the core version from 6.19 to 6.28 or modules/themes other than through FTP/SFTP. I have checked the settings.php file to make sure updates weren't disabled, and it seems right, but though I can download the new core, I can't seem to update the core except through FTP. I seem to remember there is a way to update it through the UI, same for the modules, but when i go to the available updates page I have only the option to download, not to apply.
I recognize these are two topics that should probably be in two different forums, but again I'm not sure in which forum my first question about the list order should be.
Help? Pleeeeeeease?
Thanks from a newcomer to the Drupal community!

For Drupal 6 you do need to
For Drupal 6 you do need to use FTP to perform updates (Drupal 7 added a UI).
The events list looks to be from a view called PastYear, the other from a view call ArtsAdvisoryBoard. In both cases you will want to look at the view and see how it constructed to determine how you can change the sort order.
Thanks!
I sorted out the listing orders mostly, but still need to sort out the names. It's still far better and i have a better grasp of it!
Thanks again!
