[Bug]: Blog article navigation links are backwards

[MrD9877Copy]

Summary

The "Previous" and "Next" blog navigation links on https://react.dev/blog appear to be reversed.

Page

https://react.dev/blog/[date]/[articalName]

Details

❌ Current Behavior:

• The "Previous" link points to a newer post.
  -The "Next" link points to an older post.

✅ Expected Behavior:
-"Previous" should go to an older post.
-"Next" should go to a newer post — matching typical blog UX.

Example:
On this post:
https://react.dev/blog/2024/04/25/react-19](https://react.dev/blog/2025/04/23/react-labs-view-transitions-activity-and-more

At the bottom:
-"Previous" goes to a newer post
-"Next" goes to an older post

Hi! I also submitted a PR for this issue (#7844) with a slightly different approach that swaps the routes only for blog posts. My PR: #8244

Happy to help test or collaborate on the best solution!
