For my purposes, it makes a more sense to show my posts in the order they were created, NOT the latest first. Is there a way to tweak .php to show the posts in REVERSE chronological order? Meaning, the most recent posts LAST? I poked around the .php files but couldn't find what governed the date order of the posts.
Any advice?
I'm using Thematic, a child theme now. Will soon be using Thematic Feature Site.
Hi,
try this code in your child theme's functions.php:
function blue_monday() {
query_posts($query_string . "&order=ASC");
}
add_action('thematic_above_indexloop', 'blue_monday');Chris
How can this be modified to allow for different orders in different categories? Can it?
Hi,
this would be something like:
function blue_monday() {
if (is_category('Whatever') {
query_posts($query_string . "&order=ASC");
} elseif (is_category('Something else') {
query_posts($query_string - "&order=DESC");
}
}
add_action('thematic_above_categoryloop', 'blue_monday');Chris
Thanks Chris,
I want to use the postMash Filtered plugin to be able to manually order posts in one category (1) and for that to work I need to specify &orderby=menu_order&order=ASC but for all other categories I would want it sorted by date, DESC.
Here is the code I'm using to achieve this:
function orderPosts($orderBy) {
global $wpdb;
if(is_category('1')) {
$orderBy = "{$wpdb->posts}.menu_order ASC";
} else {
$orderBy = "{$wpdb->posts}.date DESC";
}
return($orderBy);
}
add_filter('posts_orderby', 'orderPosts');That totally messes up my home page display and the display of other pages and categories too. What am I doing wrong?

I have a curious problem with that!
I used this action to change de order of the posts:
function blue_monday() {
query_posts($query_string . "&order=ASC");
}
add_action('thematic_above_indexloop', 'blue_monday');The result: I get the oldest post first, but just one. Then, the order keeps the same it was before, I mean, the newest post first.
I mean, I have 4 posts. Normaly, they are ordered like that:
nov 13 - post 1
nov 10 - post 2
nov 07 - post 3
oct 05 - post 4
when I use the action, this is what happens:
oct 05 - post 4
nov 13 - post 1
nov 10 - post 2
nov 07 - post 3
Curious, no? Any idea?
Thanks!
i always like to use wp_parse_args for adjusting the query params (that way i don't lose the tricky $paged variable. how about trying:
function oldestfirst() {
global $wp_query;
$defaults = $wp_query->query_vars;
$new = array('order'=> 'ASC');
$args = wp_parse_args( $new, $defaults );
query_posts($args);
}
add_action('thematic_above_indexloop','oldestfirst');This topic has been closed to new replies.
