More Information

Gets a link to the previous set of posts within the current query.

Because post queries are usually sorted in reverse chronological order, get_next_posts_link() usually points to older entries (toward the end of the set) and get_previous_posts_link() usually points to newer entries (toward the beginning of the set).
