On the top item, it's not the latest posted article instead it's the oldest one.

Are you using custom query or just defaul archieve or category page and please share your template code so i can help you. – raju_odi
paste this in function.php.............. function change_category_order( $query ) { $category = get_queried_object(); $cat_id=$category->term_id; if ( $query->is_category($cat_id) && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( 'order', 'DESC' ); } } add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'change_category_order' ); – Vaibhav Kumar

 function change_category_order( $query ) {
 $category = get_queried_object(); 
  $cat_id=$category->term_id;
  if ( $query->is_category($cat_id) && $query->is_main_query() ) { 
  $query->set( 'order', 'DESC' ); 
  } 
  } 
 add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'change_category_order' );

If you use any custom query add this also in post loop 'order' => 'DESC'

     $args = array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'order' => 'DESC',  );

    $q = new WP_Query($args);

or paste this in function.php

   add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_change_sort_order'); 
     function my_change_sort_order($query){
     if(is_archive()):
     //If you wanted it for the archive of a custom post type use:          is_post_type_archive( $post_type )
       //Set the order ASC or DESC
       $query->set( 'order', 'DESC' );
       //Set the orderby
       //$query->set( 'orderby', 'title' );
    endif;    
};
