I made a custom blog page and want to have the page only display posts with the category of blog. Nothing I've tried works. I want the blog category posts to show from newest at the top and oldest at the bottom.

<div class="two-thirds">

        <?php // Display blog posts on any page @ https://m0n.co/l

        $temp = $wp_query; $wp_query= null;

        $wp_query = new WP_Query( array( 'category_name' => 'blog' )); $wp_query->query('posts_per_page=3' . '&paged='.$paged);

        while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>



      <div class="third"><a class="blog-image" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail( array(200,220) ); ?></a></div>

        <div class="two-thirds blog-text">

        <h3 class="blog-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Read more"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>

            <span class="blog-meta"><i class="fa fa-calendar-o blog-icon2"></i><?php echo get_the_date(); ?> <i class="fa fa-comment blog-icon2"></i><?php comments_number(); ?></span>

            <?php the_excerpt(""); ?><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Read more">Read more</a>

      </div>



        <?php endwhile; ?>



        <?php if ($paged > 1) { ?>



        </div>
