With the Overcast podcast app (from Marco Arment), is there a way to play episodes within a single podcast from oldest to newest? The default iOS podcast app does this, but I prefer the other features of Overcast. I just don't see any way to do this.

Unfortunately, no.
The combined Unplayed Episodes playlist has no settings and defaults to newest first.
As of version 1.01, you can only sort individual subscriptions by oldest first.
Even if you go through the trouble of changing each individual subscription preference to oldest first, Podcasts app will still keep the Unplayed Episodes playlist sorted to newest first.
From the Podcasts view (left tab), press the Edit button at the top left (you may need to scroll up to see it). Each podcast will have an (x) button in its top left corner. Hit that button (it's small and can be tricky, but it works) to remove the podcast. Use the Done button at the top left when you're finished editing.

I was looking for this also and stumbled on a solution. In the podcast playlist, tap on the UNPLAYED or ALL toggle to reverse the sort order of the feed. So you would tap it once to sort episodes from oldest to newest, then episodes will play from the top of the feed i.e. Oldest to newest
