Physics posts in forward order

Because WordPress.com has an irrational aversion to people reading posts in chronological order, I’ve created a table of contents page for my posts tagged with the “physics” tag.  I have to maintain it manually, which is a pain, but I have no hope of WordPress.com ever doing the rational thing of allowing bloggers to have table of contents pages created automatically.
