View Facebook Feed in Chronological Order
By default, Facebook shows you the “Top Posts.” If you’d rather see everything in chronological order and decide for yourself what’s interesting, click the little dots next to News Feed and choose Most Recent.
To change it back, click those dots and choose Top Stories.
View Twitter Feed in Chronological Order
Likewise, Twitter shows you “Top Posts” first. To view things in chronological order on Twitter, click your profile pic, choose Settings and privacy. Go down to the Content section and uncheck Show me the best Tweets first. Then click Save changes.
You did it! But why?
So, that’s the “how” of sorting your Facebook and Twitter in chronological order. But should you do this? Honestly, I’ve known about this option for a while. But I don’t use it. I let Facebook and Twitter show me “top” content first. That’s because I really only look at Facebook or Twitter a few times a day. In those intervening hours, my social networks churn out a lot of content. Most of it is of little to no interest to me. So, I’m happy for Facebook or Twitter to show me the highlights. Now, if you are compulsively checking your Facebook or Twitter feeds every second, then yes, maybe chronological order is right for you. Give it a shot. See how you like the unfiltered version of Facebook and Twitter. If you go chronological and then switch back, come back here and tell me about it. Did you know that Facebook and Twitter don’t show your posts in chronological order? Do you wish they would? Tell me or why not in the comments. If my friends’ most recent posts are not at the top of my newsfeed, then the newsfeed itself is worse than useless, because it hides the most relevant material while it leads me to waste my efforts. You would think the more you use it the higher it would be, but for some reason FB does NOT want you to read it how you want to read it and the more I click on Most Recent, the lower it becomes on the list.
