I've a capture template like this:

 '(org-capture-templates
   (quote
    (("j" "Journal" plain
      (file+datetree "~/org/journal.org")
      "**** %?" :unnarrowed t)...

Current behaviour:

* 2015
** 2015-07 July
*** 2015-07-24 Friday
**** 3rd entry bla bla bla
**** 2nd entry foo bar
**** 1st entry test

Expected behaviour:

* 2015
** 2015-07 July
*** 2015-07-24 Friday
**** 1st entry test
**** 2nd entry foo bar
**** 3rd entry bla bla bla

I didn't set the 'prepend' key and also tried to set
'org-reverse-notes-order' to always.

I don't think you can do what you want: datetrees are always in the
first form. They don't obey :prepend or reverse notes order.

Not that it cannot be done, but the design has to be changed: "it's not
a bug, it's a feature".

Thank you, Nick. I didn't know this is a feature. It is usual for me to go
from top to bottom. So the only way to accomplish this order would be to
use file+headline or file+olp?
