Widget Search Filter makes it super easy to find the widget you are looking for by adding a live filter search box to your widgets page. The search box can be used to filter all of your available widgets – simply begin typing the name of the widget you’re looking for, and Widget Search Filter will magically show only matching widgets – all in real time. This can be extremely helpful for sites with lots of widgets, which would normally require excessive scrolling and dragging.

Widget Search Filter allows you to quickly search & filter your widgets in real time. No more excessive searching, scrolling, and dragging.

By default, the sort order for queries in WordPress is descending. This will produce posts in reverse chronological order, the desired result for most blogs.
In some cases, it may be desirable to have posts in ascending order. When activated, this plugin changes the default order from descending to ascending. This affects all queries (home page, archives, dates, etc). Deactivating the plugin returns the default order to descending.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE RESULT, IT’S THE THEME
How well this works out varies from theme to theme. Depending on a theme’s navigation labels for posts, things may or may not make sense. If labels are “Earlier” and “Later”, things will seem backwards. Some themes make sense either way. For example, in the “Twenty Fifteen” theme, “Previous” is above “Next”, suggesting list order rather than time.

Default Sort Ascend

This plugin changes the default order of queries generating posts from descending to ascending.
