Short answer. No. An order denying a motion for new trial or reconsideration is not appealable. The remedy is an appeal from the judgment or final order itself; any error in the denial is raised in that appeal, not in a separate appeal against the order of denial.

What the rule says, and why
The Rules answer this in one sentence: an order denying a motion for new trial or reconsideration is not appealable, the remedy being an appeal from the judgment or final order. The logic is anti-fragmentation. If every denial of a reconsideration motion could be appealed on its own, one case could spawn a chain of appeals — one against the judgment, another against the denial, another against whatever came next. The denial has no life independent of the decision it refused to disturb, so the law channels everything into a single appeal against that decision.
What you actually appeal
The target of your appeal is the judgment or final order itself — the ruling that decided the case against you — not the order that declined to reconsider it. Nothing is lost by this: in appealing the judgment you may assign as error every point you raised in the motion for reconsideration, and the appellate court reviews the substance the trial court refused to revisit. The denial is not shielded from scrutiny; it is simply reviewed through the appeal from the decision rather than as a separate case of its own.
The trap is the calendar, not the paperwork
The practical danger for a losing party is treating the denial as the start of a new fight instead of the signal that the existing one must move. Once reconsideration is denied, the road forks: either you appeal the judgment within the period the Rules allow, or the judgment becomes final and executory — after which the remedies narrow drastically. Filing a fresh appeal aimed at the denial order wastes precisely the time you cannot afford to waste. The moment the denial is received, the question to put to counsel is the deadline for appealing the judgment.
What to bring to that conversation
Gather three things: the judgment or final order, your motion for reconsideration, and the order denying it — each with the date you or your counsel received it, because appeal periods run from notice. Counsel will need the receipt dates to compute the remaining time, and the motion itself to decide which of its arguments become the assigned errors on appeal. If the denial arrived some time ago, say so at once; whether an appeal is still open is the first thing to establish, and nothing else matters until it is.
