'Next' and 'Previous' in a paginated list is straightforward: 'Next' takes you forward a page, even if it's backwards in time, like a list of blog posts; 'Previous' takes you back a page.

But 'Next' and 'Previous' when on an item within a reverse chronological list is all sorts of mind-bending 😵‍💫

@tempertemper so I use 2 different methods. On my main blog I used older and newer, but on posts (where it gets really confusing to your point), I have:

"<-- The one before
[Post title]"

And

"Up next -->
[Post title]"

@kev That makes a lot of sense. Easy to forget that fewer words isn't always the right approach!
